00:00 In an attempt to create a faster future for travel,
00:03 Micro X is using new technology to update airport checkpoints.
00:07 Forbes reports the automated screening process
00:10 could save time and minimize stress,
00:13 and TSA officers would only need to step in
00:15 when the system detects a suspicious item
00:18 or when a traveler needs assistance.
00:20 Now, it is an expensive feat, but Fortune explains
00:24 the design breaks the mold.
00:26 It would really shake up the way a checkpoint is built.
00:29 After passengers get their IDs checked,
00:31 an avatar will instruct for belongings
00:33 to be placed in a cabinet of a CT scanner.
00:36 The scanner X-rays the items to create a 3D image
00:39 to be automatically analyzed for prohibited items.
00:42 The TSA has already committed to pay up to $1.3 billion
00:47 for approximately 1,200 CT scanners
00:50 to screen carry-on bags.
00:52 From 2020 through 2022,
00:55 DHS committed $4.9 million for Micro X
00:59 to develop its concept and deliver the initial prototypes.
