TSA’s new 3D scanners create a physical bottleneck for oversized carry-ons
The Transportation Security Administration is deploying new 3D computerized tomography (CT) scanners that offer clearer imaging but feature narrower openings than previous models. While standard-sized carry-ons still fit, travelers with larger or expandable bags may be forced to check their luggage. The change aims to reduce manual inspections and eliminate the need to remove liquids, but requires passengers to use bins and verify bag dimensions.
