The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) has introduced its electronic baggage check system at Pearson airport (see video below). The process is now unified by electronics which track passenger flow, shows slowdowns and bags needing special attention. There is a private-room where staff electronically screen bags and an improved area for putting luggage and personal belongings back together after the check. Quick and experienced travellers will be able to jump past those with lots of luggage who require more time. Because each passenger is seen and recorded entering the process, the system responds automatically when things get plugged up. The system is called CATSA plus and it is already in service in Montreal and Calgary. The video below is informative.
