Airport security

Is this the future of airport security?

Two new enhanced security lanes opened up in Atlanta's airport last month, and they're clearing passengers at a quicker rate than the standard lanes.

Delta paid more than $1 million to bring these two "innovation lanes" to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International -- the busiest airport in the country.

The new lanes have an automated bin system with five "divestment points" for travelers to take out their liquids, remove belts or shoes and prepare for the screening process. So if a traveler is ready to be screened before the person in front of her, she doesn't have to wait.

The new screening system also removes bins that have flagged items to a separate area, which also helps keep lines moving.

The lanes, which have been open for a little more than a week, have been screening around 30% more passengers a day compared to the standard lanes, according to Delta (DAL)spokesman Morgan Durrant.
