TSA considers using 'randomizer' when screening travelers - Los Angeles Times

In the foreseeable future, fliers can expect to be “randomized” by the Transportation Security Administration.

That means an electronic device called a randomizer would randomly direct travelers to different screening lines.

One reason the devices are needed, federal officials said, is so TSA officers can’t be accused of profiling passengers when they direct some fliers to a line for regular screening and others to a line for a faster, less intrusive search.
