We need to print out a bunch of these and put them on sticky stock. Paste them over the TSA QR's when nobody is looking.

While amusing, moderately pointless. Most people who have the foggiest notion what QR codes are already know that the TSA is a collective of misfits whose only core competencies are deception and ineptitude.

I love how this is such a halfway-thought-out idea.
If you're scanning a QR code on your mobile device, one would think it would lead to mobile-formatted versions of the web pages. Right?
Of course not. Of course they lead to regular versions of the web pages, which are difficult to read on mobile phones.

I recently saw an on the T in Boston that had a QR code. The ad was across the track from the platform, on the center columns separating the inbound and outbound tracks.
Forget about the bar code being 20 feet away: you'd probably get hassled by a T cop or employee for taking pictures on the T!
