Airport security meets science fiction

This CNet news post 'Airport security meets science fiction' looks at the latest technologies in airport security, such as:

'A passenger walks up and stands on a platform. That underlying platform emits a radio frequency signal into the traveler's shoes, checking for explosive molecules. The passenger also presses a button in front of him, which takes a sample of finger oil and analyzes it for bomb residues within seconds. An iris and fingerprint scanner verifies the person's identity.

Tying all these sensors and X-rays together is a communication protocol GE hopes to establish as a standard in airport security.

GE created an algorithm called Detection Systems Fusion Protocol (DSFP), which calculates the probability of threat detection. The system would show a "threat probability meter," which estimates the likelihood of a threat or false positive for security officials.'

Enhanced movement and mobility with greater security efficiency - looks like the plan.
