What I got a kick out of from the blog article, was their "re-composure" benches - sounds more like "time out" chairs to me.
I hope travelers litter the floors of the checkpoints with the biographies of the screeners.
Who in the world thinks this stuff up?

Urg....Another example of New Age Lawyer Think, sort off like the twinkle defense. Sounds just as twisted!

Kip Hawley is an absolute disgrace who could foul up a cup of coffee. He's unqualified to shovel elephant dung or watch an automatic light system activate. Any company he goes to work for is doomed to incompetence.

My BS detector also buzzed repeatedly at the word "harmless" and the sentence about deleting images of passengers' bodies--the fact that the article went out of its way to insert those words says to me that 1) there will be at least some risk involved in the "harmless radio waves" and that 2) the images of passengers' bodies will prove to be of interest, ranging from comedic to prurient, for at least a few screeners who will figure out how to store them.
