TSA to begin testing out new bag screening technology

The TSA will soon be testing new bag screening technology at security checkpoints at several airports, including Philadelphia International.

The so-called CT scanners can more easily spot explosives and weapons hidden in carry-on bags.

They also speed up the screening process.

Passengers will be allowed to keep liquids and laptops in their carry-on bags at the checkpoints with the CT technology.
