New Bomb Detection Plan Tested at PATH Station
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Officials today started new screening of commuters at the Exchange Place PATH station in Jersey City for weapons and bombs.
Officials are using low-power imaging systems that will check passengers from farther away from the platform entrances.
First, passengers' bags are checked and then they walk through a cordoned-off ramp to an initial screening spot, where the front of their bodies is scanned. They then proceed to a second location, where the back of their bodies is scanned.
Those flagged must undergo a more intensive screening. It's part of federal test program.
The system will screen all passengers entering the Exchange Place station between 9-30 a-m and 3-30 p-m. During peak times, passengers will be selected at random.
