SECURITY

Here are some of the latest gadgets the security wizards have invented to catch those rascally airport terrorists and bedevil millions of innocent travelers.

MADE YA LOOK
WeCU technologies (as in "we see you") wants to set up giant screens at airports to display arcane symbols and images that only a terrorist would recognize, and then use cameras to catch passengers who are staring at the screens.

LIE DETECTOR
Homeland security is actually studying the FAST system -- it stands for Future Attribute Screening Technology -- that works like a polygraph. It uses cameras and sensors to detect things like facial tics, pupil dilation and fidgeting for signs of nervousness. So try not to act guilty.

DOWN TO DA FEET
IDO security has a gadget that scans your shoes without removing them from your feet. It sounds like those X-ray machines that were in shoe stores when I was a child, only without the side effect of foot cancer.

As someone that has traveled over 2million miles on airplanes, having to show holes in my socks or shorts is something that just gives me confidence in how well the government runs security. I get personally checked all the time. Never know when I will stop being a business guy and start being a bomber. Not long ago my wife age around 54 (do not f---ing tell her that) was given the once over two or three times. She was wearing a minnie mouse shirt from disney. She is 5.3 and looks pretty mean.

Meanwhile my son, covered with tattoes holding a bomb with a lit fuse was asked if he wanted a drink of water. He is 250lbs, shaved head, hands the size of baseball gloves calling anybody a dic-h--d that looks at him twice was looked over like he was tinkerbell.

I know that racial profiling is not Kosher, but Jesus there is such a thing as using your head for something other than wearing a hat.

Dragging 90 year olds out of their wheel chars seems a bit stupid when you let 20 year old guys with nazi flags on the plane with a welcome aboard Herr Gerring!
