Secure Federal Self-Service Deployment at 15 Major U.S. Airports

Operational Challenge

Airport security checkpoints are among the most demanding public environments in the country. The solution needed to:

• Meet strict federal physical security standards

• Protect sensitive screening hardware

• Maintain stable cooling for high-performance computing systems

• Fit into multiple checkpoint layouts without disrupting flow

• Allow rapid deployment under an aggressive national timeline

• Support evolving TSA screening configurations

A modified off-the-shelf enclosure would not meet the performance or security criteria. The project required a ground-up redesign.

Engineering & Implementation

Advanced Kiosks engineered a purpose-built secure enclosure optimized specifically for TSA checkpoint operations.

Key design elements included:

• Reinforced steel frame construction

• High-security locking mechanisms

• Restricted-access service doors

• Compact footprint with portability for flexible placement

• Adjustable mounting to accommodate varying airport layouts

• Fan-assisted, filtered cooling system to stabilize internal laptop temperatures

All design and manufacturing were completed at the company’s Concord, New Hampshire facility. Rapid prototyping using 3D-printed components allowed engineering iterations to occur in-house, compressing development timelines while maintaining strict quality controls.

ASRC Federal led field deployment and integration within active airport environments, enabling TSA’s Touchless Identity Solution rollout across major U.S. airports.

Deployment Impact

• 26 next-generation TIS kiosks currently deployed across 15 high-volume international airports
• 20 additional kiosks scheduled for deployment by year end

The system now supports:

• Secure, touchless identity verification workflows

• Improved checkpoint efficiency

• Flexible configuration for evolving security needs

• Reduced physical footprint within screening lanes

• Stable performance in high-traffic operational environments

By combining security engineering with installation flexibility, the solution supports TSA’s mission to improve throughput without compromising screening integrity.
