And So It Begins.

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport will begin using full-body scanners within three weeks to check people traveling to the United States, after consultations with U.S. authorities, the Dutch interior minister said on Wednesday. (Reuters)

And so, it begins. In The Netherlands, you will be strip searched, via full-body scanner if you are coming to the United States. In Canada, you can only take one very small carry-on on board. Domestically, the use of full-body scanners have not been implemented yet but expect that as soon as the money is found, they will be, and privacy issues will go out the already large window that has been .... oh, who am I kidding. There has never been an implied position of privacy where security is concerned. Security is far more important than any pretension of privacy. Now all we need are a few good telepaths...
