"This is a good example of how TSA continues to test and deploy new and cost-efficient technologies to make baggage screening more efficient at the nation's airports," said ICT Federal Security Director Keith Osborn. "We appreciate the cooperation and assistance of Airport Director Victor White, his staff and the airlines in bringing this security enhancement to Mid-Continent Airport."
In 2005, TSA deployed eight Reveal machines for operational field testing and evaluation at three airports: Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (Miss.), Newark Liberty International Airport (N.J.) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (N.Y.). The field tests lasted from 30 to 45 days and provided TSA with the opportunity to evaluate the machine's effectiveness in an airport environment as well as their impact on security and customer service.
