Whether traveling by plane, bus or car, students returning home for the Thanksgiving holiday may face a few speed bumps on the way.
Those traveling through the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport will face Advanced Imaging Technology screenings — an additional security measure first added in September.
The screenings, an alternative to traditional metal detectors, produces a detailed image that can expose metallic and nonmetallic objects, including weapons and explosives.
