New scanning technology planned for Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 2026
Transportation Security Administration officials are looking to modernize security screening processes at United States airports through the implementation of advanced technologies and public-private partnerships. According to a news release, the TSA plans to expand digital identification technologies to look at carry-on bags and traveler identification through the use of cameras.
The details: New computer tomography scanners, or CT scanners, will be coming to airports in Atlanta, Denver, Orlando and Boston this year. Next year, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, as well as Los Angeles, Nashville and Seattle, will be added to the program, according to a news release.
The impact: According to TSA, the CT scanners will generate 3D images of carry-on bags, allowing officers to conduct digital rotational inspections while artificial intelligence identifies potential threats.
More notice required for public meetings under new Texas law
Cities, counties and school district boards across Texas are required to provide more notice for public meetings under a new state law aimed at increasing public participation in government affairs.
The details: Local government agencies must post meeting notices at least three business days in advance of the meeting, meaning weekends and holidays do not count toward the minimum posting period.
House Bill 1522, which became law Sept. 1, increases the notice requirement from 72 hours.
The law change is part of “an effort to promote government transparency and citizen participation,” Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, said during a May 13 legislative hearing.
The local impact: Some city and county governments across Community Impact’s coverage areas are changing their meeting schedules to comply with the new law, including:
Bastrop City Council
Conroe City Council
Fort Bend County Commissioners Court
Montgomery County Commissioners Court
The Woodlands Township
The new law does not dictate when local governments hold meetings, as long as they meet the three-day posting requirement.
