The Transportation Security Administration began developing the new system five years ago to make screening more efficient and give passengers more autonomy and control over the pace of their screening.
The TSA checkpoint being tested in Las Vegas — initially only for TSA PreCheck customers and only in the English language — incorporates a screen with do-it-yourself instructions for travelers on how to smoothly pass themselves and their carry-on luggage through pre-flight screening with little or no help from uniformed TSA officers.
Testing is being done at a unique “innovation checkpoint” the TSA unveiled in 2019 in Harry Reid Airport’s sprawling international arrivals terminal. The checkpoint already features screening lanes with instruction displays and estimated wait times.

No govt stooges there to cop a feel.

If you’ve ever used it, you know why.
If they want faster lines, stop with the stupid shoe removal.
That'll cost you $80 for 5 years.
Oh, just like the border. Nice.
Where will unemployable angry fat black women work if TSA checkpoints are automated?
The Las Vegas airport was originally named McCarran Field after Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) an American patriot and a Cold War hero. However, to Nevada’s eternal shame, the airport was renamed for that corrupt sleazebag Harry Reid.
We get to grope ourselves?
