Face-Scanning Loses by a Nose in Palm Beach

Rio writes: "A story from myCFnow.com reports that Palm Beach International Airport officials said face-scanning technology will not become part of their airport's security system." Looks like the ACLU was right. Checking a database of 15 employees, the technology gave false-negatives -- failed to recognize the test subjects -- over 50% of the time. A spokesperson said, "There's room for improvement." The Pentagon said the same thing in February. The false-positive rate is more important -- it isn't mentioned, but even if it were just 0.1%, Bruce Schneier argues, it'd be useless.

  3. Rise in number of cavity searches in Holland, MI by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wednesday 22 May, 2002

    HOLLAND, MI - Authorities are investigating the ever increasing incidents of cavity searches at Township Airport, which is situated 4 miles northwest of the town of Holland. Official records show that there has been over a 500% increase in the number of full cavity searches conducted by its officials between 1994 and 2002. The number of searches being conducted has steadily risen each year, and now authorities are becoming concerned that there is a problem.

    A security officer within the airport revealed that the majority of these searches are being conducted on a very small group of regular travellers. The issue was first raised by an administrative worker, who noticed the spending on lubricant and latex gloves and raised the alarm with senior management.

    One source within the airport told us that the cavity searches were even being conducted at the request of the passengers themselves. On one occasion, a passenger even removed his trousers prior to leaving the aircraft in anticipation of the check.

    A female passenger lodged a complaint with airport staff after finding a man inserting aniseed sweets up his rectum outside a phone kiosk. The man, known only as Katz, has been spotted on several occasions, walking back and forth past the guard dogs and generally looking suspicious. Experts examining the case think that this behaviour is consitent with attempting to induce the need for a rectal examination.

    In March, Robert Malda was arrested by Michigan State Police for sexually harassing security staff at the airport. Stephen Young, a guard at the airport, filed a complaint after Malda cornered him by an X-Ray machine. Malda was dragged away from the airport screaming "Stevie's pinkie is bigger than CowboyNeal's fist!"

    Airport officials say the investigation is still underway, but have hinted that the majority of these problems seem to be caused by men carrying laptop computers and wearing t-shirts emblazoned with a penguin.

    Much like Jaime's penis.

      Jaime's penis does serve one purpose. It's the sole giver of all his exercise. That is if you don't count clicking a mouse and typing on a keyboard... or taking it in the ass from Jon Katz.

    That the goatse guy loaded up RearPlayer 8 and showed me his ass, then he said to me, "I'm not gay!"

    this is my first post on slashdot, hello. i logged on so i could share my sexual experience with trollaxor. it seems like he's still just as good as when i had him.

    i met trollaxor in may of 2000. he was really good looking and funny too. he has a great sense of humour. anyway we met at a coffeehouse and hit it off from there (i worked there). he would take me out to denny's and we'd also break into this hottub in a ritzy apartment complex. we had sex in the showers there quite a few times, and even fucked in the hottub once or twice. lol, that was a bad idea as i passed out and woke up to trollaxor all worried and nervous that he had killed me.

    anyway, he is a fucking monster. the first time we had sex i thought he was in all the way but i was fucking wrong. when he was in up the hilt, i mean like his balls against my asscheeks, i had never been that stuffed in my life, and i've been with a lot of guys. he fucking popped into my cervix for christ's sake. it was the most amazing sensation in the world, and he hadn't even started pumping away yet.

    he made me cum in about 5 minutes, but the kid just kept going. it was amazing. he never once went limp, even after i gave him a handjob and came all over my tits. he rolled me over and fucked me doggy-style for a half hour to celebrate. that night we fucked for 3 hours, and i was so worn out after it i passed out naked underneath of him. after that it was a regular fuckfest.

    blowjobs were really great, his dick is a little thick and long for me but i adapted. one thing i especially noted about his semen is that it tastes great (not like fucking bleach, yecch) and he cums a gallon. seriously, i have never seen anyone cum that much in real life, just pornos. he is really polite too, he never slapped me or grabs my hair or anything. in fact i was the one that initiated the facial cumshots (he seemed to like those).

    the one night we hadn't been together in a couple weeks and he ripped me apart. the next day i thoguht i had begun my period early but it was just him having been so rough. i mean, the guy's 9 inches and we usually have to make sure i am very wet and ready before he can go full-out. that night we couldn't wait and i was walking a little stiff for it.

    he's good for other stuff besides dick though. he is a great kisser and his tongue can do amazing things. anyone can suck tits but trollaxor eats, and eats well. he once went down on me for an hour and a half and brought me to orgasm 4 times. i've never seen a guy eat like that. i was almost laughing at how great it felt, i could not believe i had hooked up with someone like him.

    oh man, this brings back memories. i think i am going to email him to see how he's doing (obviously pretty well with the ladies). i haven't seen him since he moved, and we only talk between mutual friends. maybe there's a road-trip in the works here ;)
