The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is focused on developing innovations to keep up with rapidly growing passenger traffic at airports, without compromising security. One of the innovations is the integration of self-screening technology at checkpoints. In an interview with Passenger Terminal World reporter Kylie Bielby, K2 Security Screening Group Executive Vice President Steve Karoly and Vice President Boyd Keith Jeffries discussed how passenger self-screening will create a more efficient and effective security system, and free up Transportation Security Officers to perform other duties.

Officials in Lebanon have banned pagers on planes following last week's deadly attacks on Hezbollah. This decision has prompted questions as to whether we can expect similar prohibitions elsewhere. K2 Security Screening Group Vice President Boyd Keith Jeffries, former Federal Security Director (FSD) at Los Angeles International Airport, discussed the steps that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) can take to meet evolving threats with The Wall Street Journal reporter Jacob Passy.

Team members recently completed the installation of barriers and gates and seismic anchoring across seven security checkpoint lanes. Upcoming milestones include the installation of dormakaba electronic lane breach control systems and four metal detectors on Level 4 of the terminal. Final testing is expected to begin in mid-October. The project, a collaborative effort with partners - HENSEL PHELPS, Rohde & Schwarz, Analogic, Leidos, and CEIA USA, is part of the transformation of LAX ahead of the 2028 Olympics.
