I find this extremely suspicious. It sounds too reasonable ... CBS News "A new airport security system, designed to better identify a terrorist or a suspicious traveler by reducing anxiety levels of passengers, was introduced Monday at Baltimores Thurgood Marshall International airport. The security checkpoint combines new high-tech x-ray machines with calming lights and soothing music. The system is aimed at reducing the stress of passengers as they shove carry-ons through airport metal detectors while trying to balance themselves as they remove their shoes and dig for their boarding pass. The Homeland Security Secretary said that by lowering the stress level for everybody with a more soothing environment, it is hoped that someone who is up to no good will stand out more. The system is expected to be installed at airports across the country in future." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/29/cbsnews_investigates/main4053175.sh tml or http://tinyurl.com/6znc4h ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org What is the problem to which this technology is the answer? - Neil Postman http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm
