US: TSA seeks to partner with airlines to test new security procedures
Acknowledging that passenger throughput at US airport security checkpoints has slowed slightly in recent months, TSA head Peter Neffenger said he’s eager to collaborate with airlines and airports to test new, innovative security procedures. Neffenger, who took over as TSA administrator in July 2015, said that he’s talked with all of the major US airline CEs and hopes to soon establish partnerships with the industry to trial new security processes. He did not get specific about what could change, but suggested technology upgrades are possible. “I would love to get us to a place that is very different from the current technology that we have,” Neffenger said, adding that there are “really some promising new technologies out there … not yet mature enough to deploy.” <br/>
