From Qylur which says its name is derived from the “Condylura Cristata, or the star-nosed mole, a functionally blind animal that uses its fleshy snout, embedded with 25,000 sensory receptors, to detect and hunt prey.”
“Visually, the checkpoints would not look out of place in a Dr Who studio: a series of white, plastic honeycomb cells cocoon a sensor that automatically scans users for dangerous items, chemicals and nuclear materials.
The idea is that you go to one side of the machine, insert your bag into a small cabin, and scan your boarding pass whereupon the machine compares the characteristics of the contents to every item it has ever scanned. Consequently, the machine builds up not just a database, but a knowledge of all the different harmful items a person can attempt to smuggle on an aircraft, thus improving its decision making skills over time.
Qylur claims that this system is more thorough than traditional human - or even holographic - security officials, lowering the rate of false positives at a reduced cost for airport bosses. Apparently, a single machine with five cells could replace five security lines, moving through the same amount of people in one-quarter of the space, with only five employees as opposed to 15.”
