Detroit Metro Airport is one of 10 U.S. airports testing enhanced security screening on electronics.

Passengers would be required to send any electronics bigger than a cell phone through the screening machine in a separate bin.

The TSA says this pilot program is an effort to declutter baggage. With Memorial Day weekend coming up, an estimated 60,000 Michiganders expected to travel. 

According to the TSA, it's also testing ways to make screening quicker and more targeted. 

No word yet on how long it will be implemented.
