NEW YORK (AFP) – Security scanners which can see through passengers’ clothing and reveal details of their body underneath are being installed in 10 US airports, the US Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday.

I don’t completely know what to think of this. It makes sense that security would want a way to scan through clothing, as passengers have hid malicious materials in places that cannot normally be checked. It is a little uncomforting, however, that the machines render a pretty accurate image of the passenger’s body. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) affirms that the passenger’s face is blurred on the screen and that the images are permanently removed from the system after the scan is complete. The TSA also states that passengers that are randomly checked will have the choice between being patted down and scanned. The question now is, would you rather go into a machine and have security members see through your clothing, or would you rather be patted down?

WASHINGTON – Saved by Senate Republicans, big oil companies dodged an attempt Tuesday to slap them with a windfall profits tax and take away billions of dollars in tax breaks in response to the record gasoline prices that have the nation fuming.

Interesting…I feel like that tax that the Dems were trying to levy would have helped us in the long run.

I went to Wendy’s today during my lunch break to buy some food. Everything I bought totaled to $3.75, and I paid with $4. I got a little confused when I didn’t see the 25 cents in change that I expected to receive. The lady told me that I was all set. Confused, I mentioned that there was supposed to be 25 cents of change on the order. She repeated that I was all set, without even mentioning that I didn’t see the change in the small container attached on the right of the cash register. While I can see that there’s a convenience and speed benefit of spitting change into a container, I’d rather it handed to me. When only one quarter drops out of the machine and I’m in a busy restaurant (this Wendy’s is in the central downtown area) I may not recognize that my change dropped out. If anything, the lady should’ve pointed out *nicely* that the change came out in the container. I shouldn’t be expected to know such a thing unless it’s a standard part of most cash registers (which it isn’t) or there’s a sign that says the change will come out there (which there isn’t). Also, given that this location is downtown where people that tour Boston go, someone in customer service should be a bit nicer than that, whether they are teenagers at temp work or otherwise.
