Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport Among Those Testing New TSA Screening Procedures

One South Florida airport is among the list of those who could see longer lines this summer.

The TSA is testing new screening procedures at ten airports – including one in South Florida – that will take a closer look at carry-on bags.

The changes will require passengers to remove more items from bags while at the checkpoint – at a time where summer air traffic is expected to rise by four percent.

One of the airports take part in the new procedures is Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the site of a mass shooting in January where five people were killed.

This comes in addition to electronics larger than a cell phone already being required to be placed in separate bins.
