ParticipantDid anyone encounter the TSA detention pods during their travels over the holiday?

ParticipantThose look to be an over-engineered solution to a problem of having a one-way door. Much simpler would be a large revolving door (the better to accommodate passengers and luggage) with a motion sensor that sets off an alarm if someone passes through the “wrong” side of the circle. Or even a turnstile with motion sensors to prevent backflow.
This is some parasitic govno-mint contractor selling TSA an overpriced, overly complicated device. Wonder who’s getting the kickbacks and how much they are. To be clear, they are NOT at terminal exits, but at the exit of the secure airside part of the terminal. They are also not body scanners.

Good points, are you sure though they’re not body scanners. That may be an add-on option.
December 8, 2013 at 2:09 PM #768870ParticipantI googled it — apparently, they have room for several people and their carry on luggage. A body scanner would be pretty useless under those conditions.
This is an over-engineered solution to a problem, but nothing more than that.
