(WBAP/KLIF) — Southwest Airlines is planning to test thermal cameras aimed at spotting travelers who are running a fever. Airline officials at Dallas Love Field will conduct the test, which starts in early August, to search for those who have the most common symptom of COVID-19.
During the first phase of the test, temperature readings won’t be tied to individuals. Instead, the idea is to evaluate the cameras, where they should be placed, and how thermal screening could affect the flow of security checkpoint traffic.
Southwest says testing will run between one to three months.
