By the end of the summer, you won’t have to take your laptop or liquids out of your bag when flying out of Austin’s airport.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is getting some tech upgrades to its security system that should allow people to get through lines quicker.

The airport is updating the system that X-rays bags so travelers won’t have to remove electronics or liquids. Five passengers will be able to put their luggage into the machine at once. TSA Administrator David Pekoske said the new X-ray system is just one of many improvements ABIA is making to speed up security lines.

Pekoske said the airport will switch the technology out one lane at a time through the summer and add two more TSA lanes by September. That will bring the total number of security check lanes from 17 to 19.
