A total of $21m of the total investment required for the project was provided by the TSA, while the remaining $9m was contributed by the airport through passenger and airline user fees.
The system allows passengers to put luggage on a conveyor belt, which will take the bags directly to four screening machines in a new area inaccessible to the public.
Each of the screening machines can handle approximately 750 bags an hour.
