Eugene Airport Approves New Explosives Detection System Machine
U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio announced that Eugene Airport has been approved for a fourth explosives detection system (EDS) machine.
The three Oregon lawmakers had written the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in April in support of the airport’s request for a fourth EDS machine, noting that eight straight years of passenger growth required the additional machine for airport security and efficiency.
