And snow feet. Over the past few years, some of the most fascinating technologies weve featured on the show have been the ones that help people with disabilities. As the worlds first bionic games proved, the possibilities now emerging offer so much potential, whether it be in mobility, sight or hearing, weve seen how Life Changing Technology is now tantalisingly close. But how long before it really starts to impact peoples lives for real .

We start in rochester in upstate new york, which has the highest number of deaf or hard of hearing people per capita in the us.

Recently the Transportation Safety agency the tsa, tested its own effectiveness at airports throughout the United States attempting to sneak guns and bombs and other weapons past tsa officers. The results were abysmal, nearly every pistol grenade, ied and knife made it past a 95 failure rate.
