Relief at LAX?

Looks like airport officials finally received enough government finding to help pay for a new baggage-screening system by 2012. Total cost is $600 million, of which the government is paying about half. An updated system has been badly needed at LAX, but cost overruns held up the works. From the Daily Breeze:

Plans now call for installing the state-of-the art screening system in an area out of sight from travelers, which should allow federal security officers to scan more bags in less time, according to the TSA. "Passengers will begin to see a much more streamlined approach in the terminal lobbies while our transportation security officers will use the latest screening technology," said Vera Adams, deputy federal security director at LAX.
