A TSA "firestorm" has ignited in America due to proliferating stories about extremely aggressive and invasive "pat-downs" of airport passengers with safety concerns who refuse to go through the "Blue Boxes" which involve backscatter technology and full-body scans.
And now....the airline pilots and flight crews are raising very serious and justifiable concerns, as well.
But could the real reason behind this new (and potentially dangerous) technology all boil down to the selling of American privacy for PROFIT - especially since there is no real enhancement of security over alternative methods? Be aware of this!
Reflections, thoughts off-the-beaten-path and (in)digestion of current events by a hospital chaplain from Indiana (where we're called Hoosiers) who moved to Australia in June 2008. Taking faith seriously, trying to make a real difference in the lives of people, and seeking to maintain a "balanced" perspective by clowning around on a unicycle and twisting animal balloons as my alter ego: "Clair de L'uni" are some of my favourite ways to journey through life. Grandfatherhood is also exhilarating!
