  "Aggressive testing continues with industry and at the national labs in working towards a solution," TSA spokeswoman Sterling Payne says.

  "Officers will use X-ray technology to determine which substances may require additional screening'' with a powder test kit, Ms. Payne says. For security reasons, she declined to say how that happens.
  
  TSA says the vast majority of commonly carried powders, like most medication, infant formula and makeup are unlikely to need further screening.
  
  "Typical security checkpoint procedures will remain the same," Ms. Payne says.

  "When things are tossed in haphazardly or jumbled together, we spend more time determining what they are (from the X-ray) and have to manually check bags," says Sterling Payne, a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

  TSA spokeswoman Sterling Payne said the agency is studying passenger reaction and could "get more creative" about informing passengers."If passengers have questions," she said, "they need to ask the questions."

  Like it or not, as an air passenger, you must be sure "all of your liquids, gels or aerosols fit under those three-ounce quantity measures," says TSA spokesperson Sterling Payne. He says, it's "probably the biggest thing slowing down security lines."
  ...
  And because "everyone has to take off their shoes," according to Payne, wear easily removable footwear such as flip-flops or slip-ons.

  The program aims to upgrade equipment at airport checkpoints at no cost to the federal government, TSA spokeswoman Sterling Payne said.
  
  The TSA gets its payment for the ads in the form of new plastic bins, carts for screeners, and stainless steel tables for passengers to unload their belongings. Advertisers buy that equipment for the right to advertise in the bins, and airports also collect a cut of the advertising revenue.
  
  The ad program follows a year-long experiment in which the TSA allowed ads to be displayed in bins at 14 airports, including Los Angeles, Denver and Seattle-Tacoma. The TSA received $435,000 worth of new checkpoint equipment, Payne said.
  
  Most of the bin ads so far have been bought by Zappos.com, an online shoe and apparel retailer.
  ...
  Airports must get approval to sell ads from a local TSA security director and must show that the new bins and carts make security screening more efficient, Payne said.
  
  The carts have improved working conditions for the TSA's 48,000 screeners by alleviating the need for them to carry stacks of bins around a checkpoint, Payne said.
