Makes for a good show though. LOL
Probably make for a good investment too. Having watched at first hand the cleaning of our system both as a provider and as a victim, something like this is fast and efficient. Someone would need to shovel out the gross stuff first, but this concept actually kills the microbes rather than redistributing them and kills them where humans cannot or will not reach.
Scary story. One of our housekeepers came up to me when I was the intensivist in the PICU to tell me she had a new job starting next week, as a phlebotomist. Sure enough, the Monday following she was out collecting blood from unsuspecting adult patients. Obviously there was a promotion stream of which I was unaware.

At a hundred grand a pop, how many could be purchased for an F-35? How much were the TSA scanners?
If purchased as part of an Ebola response program, a side effect would be their availability to reduce Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI)

It doesn't take too many salaries and fancy cleaning supplies to make up that $100K. Operating costs are minimal. You are correct Joel...every nosocomial infection costs the patient and/or hospital almost the price of one unit.
John, is the Pulsed UV robot what is being used in some hospitals to combat staff and other infections? How would that work with the complication of seats, closed luggage compartments, etc? What about ozone?
Yes it is. The system I posted below utilizes sensors to determine when it is "clean". There would need to be multiple moves within the plane but it would work.
The airlines are going to have to invest in better methods to counter viral and bacterial infestation. Likely they will need to acquire technology such as this Pulsed UV robot that could sterilize the aircraft in 10 minutes and have it back in service.
