mmmmh, maybe.

there is nothing like flying back and forth in economy in a timespan of 2 days...

after that, you really appreciate home   :o
Are planes flying in your country? Seems the snow is making some serious issues in Europe.
Maybe its your opportunity, book a ticket, go to the airport and claim your millions from the airline...

Ok, so you have to get here.
Then when your flight is cancelled on the return you make your money. Should even cover the private jet to get you here...

so I'm in ORD on a stop over, first flight was united next is continental and I want to be able to get into the lounge at my next stop, but my boarding pass says united all over it, so I went to ticketing to a ''continental'' boarding pass, and I'm comin back in and lo and behold they tried getting me into the full body scanner. I opted out. first they make me wait there for 5 mins till some guy comes. the guy looked like he was 18, maybe 20 years old. he starts off by giving a speech about everything he's about to do, etc. it was a bit weird but it wasn't too bad.
at least I got my boarding pass.

as far as having them look at your body, this may be a better system, but for those worried about the radiation, I don't think this'll be much of a change.

ATL and LAS use ProVision millimeter machines which emit no radiation.  So it seems like this fix is just for the millimeter machines.  Probably would make me confortable enough to use one.

More reason to avoid the Rapiscan Backscatter machines though.

Israelis are training mice for airport security.

Israeli scientists have created a detector, similar looking to a full-body scanner but with three concealed cartridges each containing eight specially trained mice.

According to the New Scientist the mice work four-hour shifts and are more accurate than using dogs and x-ray machines, the researchers claim.

Air is pumped into the cartridges every four hours so the mice can breathe.

When the mice sense traces of drugs they run to a side chamber where the trigger an alarm, the magazine said.

Eran Lumbroso, and inventor whose company BioExplorers is hopeful a larger company will help with the final stages of development, said: "It is as if they are smelling a cat and escaping. We detect the escape."

The device was tested last year on 1,000 shoppers in a Tel Aviv shopping mall when the mice successfully picked out 22 people carrying mock explosives.

The idea may be appealing to airport authorities who feel that body scanners invade customers privacy.

I've seen this discussed before, I'll believe it when I see it.

Someone pointed something interesting out, they don't say how many false positives there were for the 22 successful detections.
