SUMMARY: The Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport plans to implement new computed tomography (CT) machines by the end of the month, according to Kim Jackson from TSA Mississippi. These advanced machines will enhance security by providing 3-D images that help identify prohibited items more effectively. This technology will allow travelers to keep their belongings in bags, similar to how CT machines work in medical settings to view internal structures. The introduction of this equipment aims to streamline the airport’s security measures, improving the overall travel experience for passengers.
