TSA offers a $15k competition to streamline security lines

[jgheggie]

TSA is looking for ideas to create the newest system of streamlined security check-in. They are offering $15,000 to whomever comes up with the brilliant new system.

Submitt your ideas to me and I will submit them to TSA

Better screening process for employees.

Right! I always thought it was stupid that ground crews, ramp workers, and fuelers have unlimited access without going through security. But flight crew have to be hassled by TSA?? Dumb.

-Profiling
-Asking direct questions like "Are you a threat to public safety?"


...It seems to work for the Israelis.

"You mean whoever". - any TSA employee

I think he meant for the TSA employees.

I was actually going to respond to this with a pretty solid idea regarding pax flows, but it looks like they're more interested in the design of the queue itself

Have people walk through a metal detector right after they get their boarding passes and BEFORE they enter the security lines. It doesn't have to be attended. But when it beeps, people will know they need to get rid of the metal objects that are causing it to beep. Hopefully they will then get rid of those things and put them in their carry on bags.

And if they still don't, let passengers waiting behind those clowns bid for the opportunity to either punch them in the face one time or taser them.

Just charge a fee every time the metal detector beeps. :stir:

Get rid of all the goddamn useless machines that do nothing but make security theater. No more pornoscopes, let people leave their shoes on, and stop taking the laptops out of the bags.

Now that I have the TSA-pre check number, all of those things apply to me. It's really kind of nice. I had to get fingerprinted and pay for it, but that's fine by me.

If you get a Platinum Card from Amex, they will pay the fee for you. Lots of other perks that are good for frequent travellers.

Quick trip through metal detectors and bomb sniffing dogs at check points and roaming around terminal. No de-robing and doing a monkey dance.
