Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem teased a $1 billion plan to modernize the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) equipment across the nation... 

According to FOX, the upgrades would fund new technology and “advancements in security systems,” though there has not been any formalized plan published online—or a note on how the upgrades will be funded. 

"We will be putting over $1 billion into new scanning equipment, new X-ray equipment, [Advanced Imaging Technology] equipment," said Noem during her speech. "… It's been over a decade, maybe 15 years, since the department has put this kind of resources into new technologies to keep our transportation system secure, so that will be coming and being deployed over the next many months.”
