TSA baggage-screening equipment repaired after being down at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport

Travelers should allow time for manual baggage checks

ROANOKE, Va. – UPDATE

The screening equipment has been repaired and is working again.


Transportation Security Administration screening equipment is temporarily down at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport, according to airport officials.

Wait times are increased at the security checkpoint.

Officials ask travelers to allow for additional travel time for check-in and screening, as TSA officials will have to manually screen baggage.

Airport officials say a technician is en route for repairs, but they don't know at this time when the problem will be fixed.
