New technology allows stripsearching of patrons

Bruce Schneier, a respected computer security expert, has a blog entry on new airport screening technology that will allow airport screeners to view people's nude forms. TSA officials say this new technology will pick up weapons that conventional screenings missed. Others, including me, are appalled.

Ok, so no one's thinking about using this in libraries, but if this gets accepted in airports, I predict we'll see it in a lot of other public places.

Schneier often posts thoughtful articles on the value of various security measures at his blog, Schneier on Security.

At least you have a boat! :-)

I imagine that when this technology bumps into the President's legion of evangelical supporters, we'll see a reevaluation of this technology. I hope!
