TSA is testing a big step toward the future of airport security screenings: Starting next month, the agency is introducing self-service kiosks at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
According to a release from TSA, Screening at Speed allows TSA PreCheck passengers to do their own security screening with "minimal to no assistance" from TSA officers.
"Like self-ordering kiosks at fast food and sit-down restaurants, self-service screening allows passengers in the Trusted Traveler Program to complete the security screening process on their own," Screening at Speed program manager John Fortune said in a statement. "The passenger self-service screening technology aims to keep travelers and TSOs safer by minimizing person to person contact, reducing the number of bags TSOs have to pick up and move around and allowing passengers to proceed at their own pace."

TSA testing self-screening to speed up airport wait times: How it works
The goal of TSA self-screening is not only reducing wait times for passengers, but also “reducing the number of pat downs and bag inspections" by TSA agents.
