However, it’s not at every TSA checkpoint so not every traveler going through those airports would necessarily experience it.

U.S. Coast Guard's Strategic Plan To Create National Drone Program:
"Meeting these challenges will require the Coast Guard to be agile, adaptive, and anticipatory by ensuring the innovative delivery and integration of UxS into operations. We will continue to explore new capabilities including unmanned surface, underwater, ground, air, and space vehicles. Page 22: Surveillance, Detection, Classification, Identification Coast Guard & Partner Data Guidance. A network of unmanned air and surface platforms combined with terrestrial and space-based sensors provide strategic surveillance and wide-area detection over known narcotics and migrant trafficking lanes. These networks allow persistent surveillance, covert detection and identification, and tracking of dark targets with low risk of detection compared to manned assets. Further, they enable near-continuous monitoring of trafficking routes and greatly support partnering with other DHS components to collaborate on trafficking network development and end-game interdiction."
