Amid a nationwide debate about how to speed up security checkpoints,Philippines movie 18+ Atlanta airport is testing a new apparatus that if successful could spread to other cities.
The new system is an automated conveyer belt that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to keep track of bags as they move through security, reports CNN. If a bag passes through that needs to be further inspected, it is pushed to the side while the other bags behind it keep moving.

While the new conveyor belt systems do not increase security per se, the TSA is hopeful they could speed up wait times as much as 35%.
After TSA officials collect data from the test at Atlanta airport, the new security lanes could start appearing at other airports within five years, a TSA official told CNN.
Not enough to help your summer vacation ... but better than nothing.
