Security Screeners

On the same day that my little brother was testing for a job as a security screener at the airport, I downloaded a game on my iPhone called JetSet.

The idea is that the airport tells you which items need to be confiscated from the travellers passing through the security checkpoint. The tricky part is that the list of banned items is always changing, so you have to both keep a close eye what is currently being banned and move fast enough that the line doesn’t backup.

One of the really cool things about this game is that it uses the location in your phone to determine if you’re near one of the airports loaded in the game and getting a high score will award you prizes unique to that airport as well as putting you on the high score list for that specific airport. Sweet!
