Airport security MRI system slated for testing at Albuquerque airport

A magnetic resonance imaging machine tailored to the needs of airport security is under development by a Lab team. The device, named MRI Screen, is designed to eliminate the need for the 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids, gels, and aerosols. The Department of Homeland Security has scheduled tests of the device this summer at Albuquerque's international airport.
