Ahhhhh here it is...make that 25...lol

GE Security designed a Shoe Scanner that will "enhance the flow" of passengers through checkpoints, says Jay Hill, the company's technology chief. Instead of removing shoes, passengers would stand on a machine for a few seconds while a highly sensitive radio-frequency coil looks for explosives.

But a key challenge is whether machines can withstand the rigors of airports.

**The TSA recently tested a shoe scanner used in other countries but found that when 25 testers took turns standing on it in a lab, the equipment started wearing down.**

"Another bottle-scanner is being tested in the Homeland Security Department's lab that compares a liquid's molecular structure to a library of about 30 combustible liquids installed in the machine's software."
