High-tech cameras installed at Bradley

Windsor Locks, Conn. (WTNH) - The next time you fly out of Bradley International Airport a new high-tech camera will be watching you.

The SPO-7 is being tested at a number of US aiports. The camera is different from many that are already out there because it sees "wave frequencies," naturally given off by your body. That means if you are hiding something that a metal detector would miss, the SPO-7 is supposed to know.

"The device is set up in a passive mode and its measuring energy the emanates from your body naturally, or doesn't emanate from your body," explained David Bassert a TSA Federal Security Director. "Perhaps if there is some sort of blockage or device that you might be carrying."

Unlike full body scanners that make you look naked, the SPO-7 sees only what you're hiding. "Unlike a lot of our technology that we have at the checkpoint at the airport we use it in more public areas like baggage claim, ticket counters, and then depending on how things go with the pilot we'll probably be talking to our mass transit partners about the possibility of using it out in the field as well," said Bassert.

TSA says the ultimate goal is more security with no additional hassle. "We'll have some signs up that we are using the technology and that you are coming through the area, but the reality is its very seamless," said Bassert. "There is no line to get in there and it is really no big delay unless we should need to talk to you if there is some sort of anomaly. Most passengers will find it to be a seamless experience."
