Overheard on the Web, and other Web links From The Herald's Research Editor

Airport security and nude photos 

The Providence Journal's Sheila Lennon has gathered Links and information about the latest airport scanner technology that will allow TSA employees to have 'X-ray vision', seeing details of travelers' bodies that we'd probably rather not have looked at. After showing photos of what the scans will look at and reporting much of the discussion around them, Sheila says:

"Wags have noted that there'll be a boom in people lining up for these jobs. Volunteering, even.
We're smarter than this, aren't we? If we aren't, I'll drive to my next vacation spot."

On a totally different topic, note Sheila's link to a totally cool new bike designed to help kids learn to ride without training wheels. It's a trike that works like a bike, from designers at Purdue.
