A company that designs bomb-sniffing scanners used by the MTA is creating a prototype subway turnstile that would spot passengers carrying explosives.
Mark Elliott, a vice president of Smith Detection, says the turnstiles could block a bomb-toting passenger from entering the system.
The company is working with partner Red-X-Defense. They hope to demonstrate the prototype to the MTA next year.
MTA spokesman Tom Kelly says the agency will consider the turnstile and other technologies meant to detect bombs.
