The Wright State Research Institute is developing a ground-breaking system that would scan the skeletal structures of people at airports, sports stadiums, theme parks and other public places that could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks, child abductions or other crimes. The images would then quickly be matched with potential suspects using a database of previously scanned skeletons.Just when you might have thought that things could not get any creepier in the Game of Security Theater, the mad scientists surprise you. I only hope that this is some scheme to convince the fools at DBP to pour several tens of millions of dollars down a rathole that will basically only end up with a bunch of researchers driving new Beemers.
This shit has to stop sometime. "Now" seems like as good a time as any.

Excuse me? It isn't 100% possible to tell the *sex* of a skeleton even when the bones right in front of a pathologist--& these geniuses want to identify terrorists from *scans* taken on equipment of dubious quality by personnel of dubious training under adverse conditions? Bah. I'm takin' the bus.
It was announced that our local airport, SeaTac, is getting these any day now Bah...I stopped flying in 2005. My last flight then was only because my son was having surgery in two days; I couldn't drive coast to coast that fast.
