I'm blocking re-captchas completely and one at least one occasion the site just let me in. Must be poor integration on those sites.
Prediction, they will switch to a simple app soon.
That could be done by charging a standard fee for the operator's time spent searching.
You could call them and enter a few numbers I guess. This isn't stored, at least on my phone since you are in a call, and can be automated. ( Or just don't store that message. )
You could do this: if you enable passcode confirmation, type your pass anywhere in the text message along with your text confirmation. If you forget, you get a request to do so.
This could totally be automated, text recognition handles the easy cases where ordering can be done via the internet, the rest is handled by humans.
The user confirmation makes sure the automation didn't screw something up, and if the user doesn't responds positively to a certain threshold then humans take over. The threshold can be dynamic depending on accuracy of text recognition.

That is an interesting idea, as far as I know you can radiate something and not have it become radioactive.
I wonder what is the real reason it is not used, maybe it decomposes the food after a while?
Apparently it is used in some cases ( very interesting [0] ), but looks like the fear is still big.

You would be surprised how many incorrect answers there are. I can say for certain this is happening in at least two of the top 10 tags on SO. The worst part is that some offenders don't care as long as the answer gives them a positive net reputation. Downvotes really help with this problem.
