The West Security Checkpoint is the first of two new checkpoints being built on Level 6 of the Jeppesen Terminal as part of the Great Hall Program. The checkpoint consists of 17 screening lanes with advanced technology for a more efficient screening process. Some of the features of the new equipment include:
- Allowing multiple passengers to place their items in bins simultaneously to help expedite the process
- Enhanced technology that allows passengers to leave items like liquids and laptops in their bags
- Automatic diversion of any carry-on bag that may contain a prohibited item, allowing other travelers’ belongings to continue through the screening process uninterrupted
- Automatic bin returns to the front of the line with bigger bins to fit more items and larger bags
The East Security Checkpoint, also consisting of 17 screening lanes, will mirror the West Checkpoint. Construction of this checkpoint is already underway and will open by the end of 2025.
As part of the construction of the West Security Checkpoint, the balcony overlooking Level 5 was extended to add capacity for circulation. Additionally, a triple escalator taking screened passengers from Level 6 to the train platform on Level 4 was constructed.
