The US authorities are introducing tougher screening rules for passengers arriving by air from nations deemed to have links with terrorism.
Reports say people flying from Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Yemen and Cuba will have pat-down body searches and have carry-on baggage searched. President Barack Obama condemned lapses following the alleged Christmas Day bomb plot against a US plane.
He promised "to act quickly to fix flaws" in the security system. The new security directives will come into effect on Monday. But hours after the new measures were announced, there was a security alert at Newark International Airport near New York City as a man entered a secure area without being screened.
Terminal C was locked down and passengers were evacuated from the secure area, then re-screened. Flights from the terminal were grounded. ... The BBC's Jane O'Brien in Washington says it is unclear whether a pat-down could have detected the device carried by 23-year-old Nigerian accused Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in his underwear. But Mr Obama has been under pressure to make visible security improvements, she says. As part of the new guidelines, passengers travelling from any other foreign country will also be checked at random. Earlier, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave the go-ahead for full body scanners to be introduced at Britain's airports. The machines are expected to be installed at London's Heathrow Airport and other hubs within weeks. ...

This Sonia Truthergril's take on it is spooky and funny, "...your nuts are on fire, they're throwing you on the ground and you have no expression on your face? ..."
He does have a hauntingly blank expression. From what I know about ordinary hypnosis, however, it is not possible to program someone as she suggests.GE, according to an article on rense, may know how to use radar signals to control minds. GE also produces airport security systems (wiki) and "a device like the GE EntryScan (in use at SFO for at least the past four years, if not longer... would have picked up PETN residue rather trivially." (bordingarea ).
The company benefiting is not GE, however. The Dutch will buy scanners made by some Florida company (upi), the only company that can currently deliver the goods. Conspiracy link: Brijot Imaging Systems Announces Executive Management Change...
"Brijot's passive millimeter wave systems are currently in use at a number of government and commercial locations in the U.S. and overseas, including the Orlando Federal Courthouse, in Orlando, Florida, the U.K. Border Agency; in several major airports and ports, U.S. Army locations in the Middle East, and multiple commercial deployments."

Some say airport scanners cause cancer. Sci Fi movie idea: A group of mad scientists scan everyone in the world who flies with a cancer causing ray to thin out the population. The company refuses to release any details about the scanners claiming it is protecting proprietary information.
