Security comes at a cost.
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, passengers have complained about long wait times and intrusive searches.
Now the TSA is offering $15,000 for the best ideas for improving those frustrating screening lines, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The challenge, said TSA spokesman Ross Feinstein, “is about leveraging innovation and out-of-the-box thinking to find solutions to TSA’s most challenging issues.”
The person with the best idea will receive at least $5,000, while others with good ideas will get at least $2,500.
