"Security" Zaps Our DNA
In our headlong rush to secure air travel from terrorists we may pay the ultimate price: random corruption of our DNA. The manufacturers of mega-million dollar body scanners assure the public that they are safe. Craven government officials benefit from the money, or the fear, or both. Who will apply the brakes? Since 9/11 I've only flown once — as a matter of principle I refuse to be treated like a prisoner unless the trip is absolutely necessary — now I'm not so sure I'll ever want to fly again...
[This may not be new news, but for some reason the item showed up a couple days ago on my RSS news reader and I believe it's still worth thinking about.]

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is refusing to be treated like an animal. The airline industry and the government have teamed up to make air travel an abominable experience. I have not flown for five years and will never fly again. I will stick with my reliable Jeep Wrangler or a train if I could ever find one that went where I wanted to go.
