STATE OF THE ART BAGGAGE SCREENING EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AR AIRPORT'S SECURITY CHECKPOINT

Lexington, KY - State of the art security checkpoint x-ray equipment has been installed at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport. The installation of new equipment has been a frequent request of our many business customers who travel with laptop computers. Equipment in use prior to this installation required travelers to remove computers and other electronic devices from their luggage prior to screening at the checkpoint. This procedure often resulted in delays at checkpoint and has been viewed by many frequent travelers as an inconvenience.

With the installation of new screening equipment customers can approach checkpoint and send laptop computers through the screening process without having to remove them from luggage and carrying cases. This should greatly reduce confusion and delays in and around the checkpoint area.

"Inconvenience at the checkpoint has been one of our most frequent customer complaints. The installation of this new equipment will provide a significant enhancement to our customer's overall travel experience", said Michael Gobb, Executive Director, Blue Grass Airport.

The operation of the security checkpoints at airports across the nation is the responsibility of the airlines serving each airport. In Lexington, Delta Air Lines, in partnership with the airport, has made this enhancement possible.
