Air travelers who try to squeeze everything they can into a carry-on bag to make for an easier airport experience may soon be in for a rude awakening â because the Transportation Security Administration has a new toy.
Major change to TSA protocol is forcing some frustrated passengers to check carry-on bags
Skipping the stress of baggage claim at the airport by using all carry-ons may no longer be possible.
Though the roll-out of the Transportation Security Administration’s new security scanners is intended to offer flyers more thorough screening capabilities and an easier time passing through security checkpoints, it may pose a snag when it comes to taking carry-ons on the plane — as they may not fit through the new devices.
The 3-D, X-ray computerized tomography (CT) scanners may be elite machines, but Daniel Velez, a TSA spokesperson, shared that their under-an-inch smaller opening does not let larger items pass through as easily as the former scanners did — though he said that the design is “necessary” so that the new tech can accommodate the advanced imaging technology and guarantee optimal performance.

Travelers hoping to skip baggage claim when they fly by packing everything into their carry-on bags may end up having to check their luggage anyway, thanks to the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) new security scanners.
TSA is rolling out CT scanners that promise better screening capabilities and an easier process for flyers passing through security checkpoints. However, the agency also cautions passengers that not all carry-on items may fit through the machines. As a result, flyers will not be allowed to take those bags onto the plane and will have to check them with the airline.
