An Australian is developing a system that could make air travellers’ dreams come true: speedy security screening that promises minimal interaction with security officers. But it’s likely to be expensive

That looks like a bad idea, most airports have quick pass for frequent fliers, so self serve kiosks will rarely work, especially seeing as how most airports will not have the same ones. It does look like a fun indy torture the npc sims game though.

It’s all about the ocular patdown.

My air travel dream is no gross feet being shoved on me from behind, no crying babies, and no one deciding to have a temper tantrum over nothing right as we’re trying to depart.

We don’t have shit security because we lack the technology/software to do it, we have shit security because of human policies/decisions. A random “system” isn’t going to help with that much. That’s why they focus on things that make people *feel* safe, but doesn’t actually make things much safer. Last year I accidentally boarded a plane from a major airport with a pocketknife, simply forgot to unclip it from my pocket, but I guess I felt safe the entire time?
