For the last 22 years, the TSA has continuously worked to improve its operational safety for travelers at U.S. airports, while also seeking ways to make the process more efficient for travelers.

Today visiting TSA West Region spokesperson Lorie Danker showed off the most recent improvements at the Guam airport, including the computed-technology scanners that have replaced the old, bulky X-ray machines.

"If a traveler is going through a line with a CT scanner they can leave in their travel-size liquids and electronics larger than a cellphone. you do not need to remove those," she said. "We'll have a TSA officer in place to explain to the traveler to keep those in your bag because once the traveler has to do less, doesn't have to remove items from their bag then it's gonna make it quicker for everyone."

"The other thing travelers need to know is that it has a smaller entry than what you might be used to seeing," Danker said. "So if it doesn't fit through the entryway here it's not gonna go, and you need to tell a TSA officer I have an item that's larger than the opening and they will work to have an alternate method to get that item screened."

Danker also showed off some of the other screening equipment such as credential authentication technology, which automates identity verification.

It speeds up the authentication process and also detects fraudulent or counterfeit identification.

Also presented was a bottle liquid scanner that uses lasers to measure the density of the liquid without having to open it. The screening takes seconds to do and allows travelers to bring aboard medically necessary liquids in their carry-ons."
