Growing alternatives to long TSA lines
2011-01-27
Research grants into modified plants that turn color in the presence of explosives etc. Ultimate goal: pat down / check only those passing by when the plant signals to cameras.

I'd much rather walk through an indoor garden when I fly than the current wretched security lines. Let's see if the researchers are successful in speeding up the response and making sure the plants don't give too many false positives.

#5  There are preliminary reports that the plants mutated and began imitating the current TSA grope fest type behavior, grabbing passengers in sensitive areas. They have named this variation the 'Penis Flyertrap.'
