AI threat-detection tech moves airport security lines faster [Video]

In a perfect world, our bodies and belongings wouldn’t have to be scrutinized at slow-moving security checkpoints every time we travel or go to a concert.

Alas, because of smugglers and terrorists in our imperfect world, everyone needs to be checked.

An AI-based automatic threat-detection technology developed by Israeli company SeeTrue is now making the process faster and more accurate at over 100 checkpoints in about 10 countries.
