    Seamless transitions that dance gracefully; a ballet of scenes captivating the audience.????

    Just hope this isn’t rush for convenience, and security isn’t as big as it suppose to be

    It really looks futuristic. I would use it.

    TSA needs one more thing. That is “what’s on your mind “.

    You really think this is going to speed things up? It’s just an excuse to fire more people, just like self-checkout at Walmart.

      They will still have a job. Wheelchairs users cant use that system. It would be nice if they could.

    Is the TSA going to expect me to put on a helmet that’s been worn by thousands of other people that day?

    I think I’ll opt for the pat-down.

    Dumb tech for a dumb agency

    Why can’t we just have the system like on Total Recall with Arnold? Just walk through and everything scanned all at once. ???? Just remember your lead underwear.

    I don’t see how this helps anyone with TSA pre get through faster. The lines for pre are either non-existent or fast already. Even in the thick of holiday travel, it’s like 10 minutes or less. It will only help the regular line. I think the real solution is to get more people into TSA pre.

    TSA pre-check has been a lifesaver for all my anxiety. It feels the way travel was pre-2001.

  19. @jamesbromley1

    January 29, 2024 at 1:13 pm

    If you have VR you don’t need to travel at all – problem solved!

    Am surprised they didn’t throw in the AI and Blockchain technology buzzwords in order to secure even more funding for something that was not needed.

    TSA is happy to fly illegal aliens all over the country without any ID or any way of verifying who they are or what they may have done or plan to do. TSA and all of DHC(Department of Homeland Commies) is a total joke.

  22. @WarlordMoA

    January 29, 2024 at 5:21 pm

    TSA needs less of pat down and more screening that are less X-ray imaging. People can just slide in there suitcases and carry ons through the pod and just walk through the metal detector and that’s it, you don’t need to take off your shoes, belts or jackets, TSA shouldn’t be groping around passengers.

  23. @lahfulton6116

    Slash of thousands of job. Get it.

  24. @nickcpv

    “I’m sorry , Fred, but your social credit score has changed and you are not allowed to fly at this time…”

    I don’t think wheelchair users can use that. I know TSA has to look all over my chair.

More than 90 percent of American-caught fish is processed overseas, and often in China, before it comes back to the U.S. Shin K wants to change that with robotics, computer vision, and a vertically integrated supply chain built from scratch.

At StrictlyVC Los Angeles 2026, TechCrunch Editor in Chief Connie Loizos sat down with Saif Khawaja, founder and CEO of Shin K, and Delian Asparouhov of Founders Fund to talk about one of the most unexpected bets in venture capital right now.

They cover everything from the Japanese fish-killing technique that became a startup thesis, why American fish is now being imported into Japanese fish markets for the first time ever, and how Founders Fund thinks about contrarian bets in food and agriculture.
