The NYT’s description of Dubai Aerospace’s plans for “frustration-free” or “high-speed” airports has me scratching my head, wondering what this would really look like:
…these airports will feature automated communication systems with sensors that will spot arriving customers, track them and their luggage, and help guide them through lines and onto their flights. The bottlenecks of security stops and check-in lines will be a thing of the past…
Sounds terrific. And everyone gets a pony.
Missing from the story: Details. How is this supposed to work? Will passengers be required to wear an RFID tag matched with their luggage?? Will security be as smooth as the subways in “Total Recall“? The company’s Flash-heavy website is silent on the mechanics of their business model.
Seriously, I’m curious, but …how?
