REDEFINING THE END-TO-END PASSENGER EXPERIENCE AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Los Angeles World Airports has partnered with the Transportation Security Administration to pilot two new security checkpoint technologies at Los Angeles International Airport.
The Gemalto high-speed passport readers will provide fast and accurate authentication of travel documents, resulting in improved queue times and strengthened security.

A trial programme will begin in Terminal 2 in partnership with Southwest Airlines, and rollout is expected to start within the next six months.
