$500,000 Prize to Improve Airport Security
Posted February 21st, 2008 by Alex Ion
Now that’s good thinking. New-York based company, Clear, would like to hear our opinions on airport security and timing for checking in. They are offering a $500,000 prize, the “Clear prize”, to anyone that can come up with an idea that will make airport security checks quicker and simpler for passengers.
If you want to win (yes you/me are entitled) then you’d better come up with something that will make it 15% quicker and would cost less than 25cents per passenger.
Rumors say that a solution could be mass spectroscopy that can easily trace forbidden substances including explosives and drugs. Another one they may be thinking of is terrahertz scanning that can see far beyond the naked eye.
