Airport scanner stir fears over security lines~~www.usatoday.com
The body scanners that the government want to install in over a dozen airports are concerning some airport staff, because the scanners could lengthen the security lines and congest the terminals.
The scanners take up to five times longer the metal detectors they will be replacing.
International Air Transport Association member Steve Lott said, “Scanners would lead to significant passenger’s delays at the checkpoints.” However, Greg Soule a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration said, “Scanners will not significantly increase checkout times.”
The TSA plans to install 950 scanners over the next two years at airports.

• Should be "concerning to"
• Missing word "than" in: five times longer [than] the metal
• Missing commas to set off and close this phrase: "a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration"
