VIP Security Kiosk

With the cooperation of three separate companies utilizing four cutting edge technologies, in partnership with the TSA and several airports, the VIP program broke the paradigm of passenger checkpoint screening.

Passengers who purchased a VIP pass and agreed to background checks could breeze through security without removing shoes or laptops. A retina and finger scanner verify the passengers identity while trace particles are sampled from the fingers and “quadra-pole” resonance bounce off the soles of the shoes searching for explosives.

The prototype systems had to support continuous design iterations, rapid access and mounting of the technologies, all while on-site in airports.
After extensive usability studies the pilot program proved successful and provided a valuable exercise for the long path to resolving the check point screening bottleneck.
