Backscatter X-Rays Coming to Airports

TSMABob writes "Wired News reports that a recent, but expensive, technology of backscatter may grace airport security in the future. Nice Bombs Ya Got There is an article that explains how this technology is far superior to the metal detectors of today, pointing out that 'Richard Reid, convicted of trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic jetliner with explosives in his shoes, walked through metal detectors at Orly Airport in Paris several times before boarding the plane.'

No, that is not a more indepth article. It's the same god damn AP story that Wired News posted, and the same that I read on SF Gate yesterday. With the same god damn picture. All you did was link to the same article at a different source. The Associated Press wrote that story and took that picture. Not Wired, or Globe and Mail, or The Chronicle. RTFA some time, and don't give credit where it isn't due.
God, I can't believe people mod shit like this up to +5.
