Flying fickle finger of fate

A choice I could live without:

Pat-down or body scan? Travelers, it's now your call.

A new security tool that scrutinizes an individual's entire body for hidden weapons and explosives will begin screening passengers Monday at O'Hare International Airport, according to federal officials. Transportation Security Administration officers can conduct a scan in as little as 5 seconds without laying a hand on passengers as they pass through airport security checkpoints on the way to board planes.

Grope me or scope me. Hog dog. One more reason to avoid flying in general and O'Hare in particular. I think the terrorists have won.

Leo:
Reminds me of the subway scanner scene from TOTAL RECALL...
Makes me want to view some SCI-FI movies and figure out to which PARTICULAR future we're headed.
Blade Runner?
Mad Max?
I Am Legend?
(take your pick and place your bets, folks)
