Description
The now familiar gray screening trays were designed by the TSA in 2002. Similar objects of varying size and color had previously existed at security checkpoints, but the gray bins were an innovation by the TSA to make security more uniform. These bins were used at security checkpoints at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in 2002.
