wasnt there a company that built or was testing a machine that you walk through and it does a full body scan and shows the person's silhouette on a screen and if he's carrying things? i know people were troubled that you can see EVERYTHING but you give a person a choice- either go through this machine or rent a boat to get across the atlantic if youre going to europe. whatever happened with that? it would solve this whole problem, or atleast help alot. jeff givens <jgivens@adelphia.net> wrote: On 24 Dec 2001 at 18:09, Dennis W Zeuch wrote: > I think we may finally have reached the limit of what people will endure to Once again, idiocy. It says nothing of the myriad other ways to carry something on, something high tech and sneaky, like a pocket. But by golly we will check the shoes. Like the guy I saw recently refusing a persons request to hand inspect some unexposed film, saying only 1600 or better can bypass the x-ray, as if 1600 speed films are inherently safer than the other speeds. Idiots. _____________________________________________ JG...
