LAS VEGAS (AP) - 連邦の airport 安全公式の／役人s 明かすd a 乗客 self-審査 system Wednesday at busy Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, but say they do not 計画（する） to use it in other cities around the country.

"How do we step into the 未来? This is a step," said a system designer, Dimitri Kusnezov, science and 科学（工学）技術 under 長官 at the U.S. Department of 母国安全. "The interface with people makes all the difference."

The Transportation 安全行政検問所 - only in Las Vegas, only for TSA PreCheck 顧客s and only using the English language - 会社にする／組み込むs a 審査する with do-it-yourself 指示／教授／教育s telling people how to 滑らかに pass themselves and their carry-on luggage through pre-flight 審査 with little or no help from 制服を着た TSA officers.

"We want to 避ける乗客s having to be patted 負かす／撃墜する," said John Fortune, program 経営者／支配人 of the Department of 母国安全´s "審査 at 速度(を上げる）" program and a developer with Kusnezov of the 原型.

Instead of a boxy belt-fed 装置 using a stack of gray trays, the futuristic-looking baggage and personal 所持品査察 system looks like a 規模d-負かす／撃墜する starship 医療の磁石の resonance imaging machine that uses an 自動化するd 貯蔵所 return belt.

旅行者s step into a separate （疑いを）晴らす glass 団体／死体 scanning booth with a ビデオ陳列する，発揮する inside showing how to stand when 存在 sensed with what 公式の／役人s said is the type of "ミリメートル wave 科学（工学）技術" already in use around the country.

"Really, one of the main 目的（とする）s here is to 許す individuals to get through the system without やむを得ず having to interact 直接／まっすぐに with an officer and ... at their own pace," said Christina Peach, a TSA 行政官／管理者伴う／関わるd in the system design. "It´s also about not feeling 急ぐd."

国家的に, nearly all 乗客s who 支払う／賃金 to 入会させる in the TSA PreCheck program pass through 審査 in 10 minutes or いっそう少なく, 機関広報担当者 R. Carter Langston said, while 正規の／正選手旅行者 and carry-on 審査 takes about 30 minutes.

Peach said eight 制服を着た TSA officers might be needed to staff two 小道／航路s of the new system, compared with 12 officers in 小道／航路s today.

However, Kusnezov and Karen Burke, TSA 連邦の安全 director in Nevada, said スパイ／執行官s 含むing union members would just be 解放する／自由なd from 手渡すs-on 審査 to 焦点（を合わせる） more attention on broader 安全関心s.

"No one is going to lose their 職業," Burke said.

Fortune 拒絶する／低下するd to 見積（る） the cost of designing the system, but he said the type of scanners used were 類似の to ones already （軍隊を）展開する，配備するd around the country.

公式の／役人s said they´ll time how quickly 旅行者s pass through the 原型 during evaluations this year.

実験（する）ing is 存在 done at a unique-in-the-nation "革新検問所" that TSA 明かすd in 2019 in a sprawling international arrivals 終点 that opened in 2012 at Harry Reid airport. It already features 審査小道／航路s with 指示／教授／教育陳列する，発揮するs and 概算の wait times.

"This change in 科学（工学）技術 is for people who want to get through a 検問所 faster," said Keith Jeffries, a former TSA director at Los Angeles International Airport and now 副／悪徳行為大統領，／社長 of K2 安全審査 Group, a company that 任命する／導入するs 審査 systems at shipping ports 含むing airports. "It´ll be a 広大な／多数の／重要な step, but I 心配する it will be for the experienced 乗客s."

Jeffries, in an interview with The Associated 圧力（をかける）, compared the new system to self-checkout 小道／航路s that were introduced in the 1980s and are now ありふれた at supermarkets across the nation. He 解任するd that some shoppers 最初避けるd scanning their own 購入（する）s.

"It´s going to take time to educate the public," he said of the TSA 審査小道／航路s. "You´re going to have a new 世代 of 旅行者s that just wants to get through with the least 量 of hassle and 延期する. I think 結局 we´ll see more and more of them."

Harry Reid International Airport was the seventh-busiest 乗客 airport in the U.S. in 2022, 階級d by Airports 会議 International behind New York´s John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 2023, the Las Vegas airport 扱うd a new 記録，記録的な／記録する of 57.6 million arriving and 出発／死ing 乗客s.

The Transportation 安全行政報告（する）／憶測d its busiest day ever at the airport last month, 審査 nearly 104,000 旅行者s and their luggage as they 長，率いるd for 航空機による flights Feb. 12, the day after the NFL 最高の Bowl was played at Allegiant Stadium.
