Kansas City Airport doesn't use TSA screeners, they have a private contractor doing the screening: https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/screening-partnerships That said, it seems like this policy is likely a TSA imposed pilot program: https://thepointsguy.com/2017/05/paper-products-new-tsa-secu...
Okay, tin foil hat time. Maybe they have new machines that can see the print through the paper, and actually scan and store the contents of all these papers in a timely fashion?
but probably not ready for use in airports yet, either.
I flew out of MCI (American Airlines) on Sunday evening, confirmed this definitely happened. They asked for books, papers, notebooks, etc. However, I disagree with one point in the article: I didn't witness them "scanning" the documents with a scanner. They went through the Xray machine in a separate bin, much like your laptop does. Perhaps I missed something.
Agreed. "Scanning paper" has spying implications. They are just xraying it in its own bin.

Because blobs of paper look to similar to blobs of potential explosives when xrayed. They arent scanning it so much as removing it from the scan of everything else.
Do you know that to be true? Or is it that paper and/or ink blocks scanning and you can hide bombs in it?

If somebody created an explosive that could pose as paper for X-ray, that would be noteworthy.

I don't believe this is true, how does one tell? They appear to be TSA agents, in the blue uniforms with the TSA badges
Here's a story from last summer about the private security at Kansas City Airport: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article79795177.html

It's true. Turns out blue shirts can be worn by just about anybody. Here's a story from last summer about the private security at Kansas City Airport: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article79795177.html
