A rather intriguing and innovative idea I think, but I am not so sure that it/they will really help to get the message across anymore effectively than a human being, and will it really help to reduce the queues…?

Interesting application and could turn out to provide stand up comics with material

Interesting application, closer to my ideal of 3D holographic TV whenever it materialises.
On the funny side it may provide some fun material for stand up comics in the future.
Nervous passenger approaches holographic security adviser who is spouting forth, “Please remember liquids must be in containers less than 100 mls and fit in the plastic ziplock bag provided……..Please remove waist belt, shoes (may not be the case anymore), all metal objects in your pockets, all jackets and overcoats, and place them in the containers in front of you…….Then pass slowly through the walk through screening device……”
Passenger sets off walk through device alarm.
Through the walk through screening device is another holographic security adviser who says, “Please raise your arms and spread your legs……..” – aha adds a entire new slant on being frisked by a ‘ghost’
Completely bewildered passenger approaches holographic security adviser with arms raised and legs spread, expecting to be frisked. Nothing happens.
This tableau is caught on CCTV by real security staff having their cuppa.
What look like Holographic armed police are visible beyond the security screening area.
Passenger says ‘ sod this holographic nonsense’ and walks out of the screening area and is promptly arrested by the armed police who weren’t holograms after all…

This is actually an interesting concept, and maybe the general idea isn’t necessarily that they get the message across better than a human being (which will probably never happen, unless the human being is crap at getting the message across). Maybe this is a good way of getting basic information across to people, leaving the actual real human beings to concentrate on more important issues? It’s a very interesting idea anyway!
