what is your opinion about this article Airline lobby for system to speed airport security? Airlines lobby for system to speed airport security Biometrics uses scans of iris and fingerprints By Carly WeeksOTTAWA — A coalition of Canadian airlines and airports is putting pressure on Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon to adopt a biometric travel screening program that would allow passengers to “fast track” through airport security and avoid hassles like taking off their shoes, coats and removing laptops from their cases before boarding planes. The voluntary program, which is currently in place at several major U.S. airports, relies on iris and fingerprint scans to identify passengers and quickly move them through airport security. The biometric screening system is seen as a way to significantly reduce line-ups and other delays that have become a major hassle for passengers, particularly those who travel frequently, according to the coalition, which includes Air Canada, WestJet, as well as the Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton airport authorities. “It’s just another service to passengers,” said Scott Armstrong, spokesman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Obviously, people are always looking for ways to make the whole airport process quicker.” Although some Canadian airports have expressed interest in the biometric screening, the federal government has to approve such a program before it can be up and running in Canada. That’s because Transport Canada would have to conduct the background checks on interested applicants, and Canadian Air Transport Security Authority employees would likely be responsible for helping passengers with biometric cards at the airport. When passengers are approved for the program, they receive a card that comes equipped with a microchip containing their biometric data that they must bring to the airport and scan on a machine, similar to a bank machine. Passengers with biometric cards would be able to wait in separate lines that have specialized security equipment, enabling them to pass through security checkpoints quickly and easily. Adopting such a system, also known as a registered traveller program, “would enhance aviation security while improving the passengers’ experience in the airport,” says a letter sent to Cannon’s office last month by the group of Canadian airlines and airports. The group argues the federal government wouldn’t have to spend any money on the screening program, because it would be paid for by the private sector. Furthermore, any Canadians that wanted to use a biometric screening card would have to pay for the service. There is currently one company, called Clear, which operates the biometric screening program for about 45,000 passengers in the U.S. Although the GTAA has already signed an agreement with Clear for a similar program here, nothing can move forward until the federal government decides whether or not to approve it. A spokeswoman for Cannon’s office as well as CATSA said the federal government is currently reviewing the program to see if it can be implemented here. — CanW est News Ser vice

What is more important to you, safety or the appearance of safety? Richard Reid, the "Shoe Bomber," was busted trying to ignite C4 in his sneakers with a box of matches and now, people going through airport security must take off their shoes. Nevermind that it is impossible to ignite C4 with fire (you need an electric charge). The point, I think, is not to make you TRULY safer, but to make you FEEL safer through an elaborate show of "security checks." At the same time, I have left luggage unattended at three major airports (Newark, New York-JFK and New Orleans-Armstrong) just as a test and was never accosted by security at all. I contrast that experience with my time living in London where walking 20 feet away from my luggage was enough for British cops to question me. So then, are the "security" measures put in place at our airports truly in place to keep us safer or to just make us FEEL safer?

What is the distance and the taxi fare from New Orleans International Airport (Louis Armstrong) to downtown?

a bunch of not funny jokes? Q: What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor? A: "Where's my tractor?" A Black man, a mexican and a russian walk into a bar. What a great example of a united society. What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Neil Armstrong? Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon and Micheal Jackson molests little boys. What did the homeless man get for Christmas? Nothing Q: What do you call a Mexican flying a plane? A: A pilot. Three blokes walk into a pub. One of them is a little bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability. Why did the sheep dog count 40 sheep when there were only 38 He rounded them up. A seal walks into a club. However, the particular club he entered had a no animals policy and he was turned away. Two porn stars, a man and a woman, are going at it during a shoot. They're doing it doggy style, and the director keeps urging them to do it faster, since they're in sort of a homestretch two-shot. So they're really going at it, and the woman kind of looks over her shoulder at the man and says, "Ooh, you feel so good inside me!" And the man thinks to himself, I choose to believe you. A boy owned a dog that was uncommonly shaggy. Many people remarked upon its considerable shagginess. When the boy learned that there are contests for shaggy dogs, he entered his dog. The dog won first prize for shagginess in both the local and the regional competitions. The boy entered the dog in ever-larger contests, until finally he entered it in the world championship for shaggy dogs. When the judges had inspected all of the competing dogs, they remarked about the boy's dog: "He's not so shaggy." Two light bulbs are lying in their cardboard sleeve on a shelf somewhere. The first light bulb is a real nervous type. He's been going on and on. "What if I don't light up? Seriously, what if I don't? I will just m'kaying die! God, I'm freaking out. And thanks to our m'kaying packaging, we don't know whether we're in a store or a warehouse, or if we're sitting under someone's kitchen sink moments away from being screwed in and turned on. What if there's something wrong with my filament? I mean, it feels OK to me, but there's not really any way of knowing for sure until I get hit with some current. Sure, I passed the factory test and lit up just fine, but what if ..." The second light bulb has had enough. "Will you shut the m'kay up! Just shut up!" There is a long awkward silence. Then the first light bulb says, "Well, what else are we supposed to talk about?" What did the aborted baby say to it's mother? Nothing. Dead babies can't speak, and even if they could it takes at least a year or so for babies to learn how and because this particular baby was aborted and you can only be aborted if you're younger than about four months it wouldn't have had the time. A man walks into a bar. He then meets some friends and has a rather enjoyable night. A salesman is sitting in the reception area of a big corporation, waiting to give a presentation to some of the people there. He is kept waiting almost 40 minutes beyond the time of his appointment, and then he's finally ushered into a conference room. He goes in, and sitting around a big table are two Jews, an African-American woman, and a gay guy of Chinese descent. The salesman goes into his pitch, for software or a phone system or something, and it's pretty evident a couple minutes into it that these four people couldn't care less, especially the younger Jew, who keeps checking his BlackBerry. But he plows through the presentation anyway, and when he finishes, everybody shakes his hand and thanks him. He goes out to his car and starts to drive home. On the road, his cell phone rings and he answers it. It's his wife, and she asks him to pick up a couple of groceries on his way home. He says OK. She says, are you OK? And he says, yeah, I'm fine. She says OK. He hangs up, and this commercial for anti-itch powder comes on the radio, and it's got all these country-sounding old people giving testimonials about how this powder completely improved the quality of their lives. And the salesman starts crying. Big choked sobs. He shades his eyes with his left hand so that the other drivers can't see that he's crying and says, "And I don't even m'kaying care about this poo!" How do Helen Keller's parents punish her? By giving her a timeout. A man is walking alone on the beach when he trips, and stumbles accross an old rusty lamp. Curious, he picks it up and begins to wipe the sand away. He cuts himself on the lamp, giving himself a nasty infection, but after a series of shots he is fine now. My dog's got no nose. It was cut off by a gang of drunk teenagers in a public park, leading to three successful prosecutions for animal cruelty Why was there lipstick on the blonde's steering wheel? She braked really hard because some m'kaying cat ran in the road and kind of busted her mouth on it. A woman becomes pregnant. 9 months later she has a baby. Yo momma is so fat, she developed a serious case of diabetes and had her foot removed. A farmer, waiting on the side of the road with several sacks is approached by a boy. The kid asks, "Hey, what do you have in those bags?" The farmer replies, "Oats." Yo mamma's so dumb she had to take remedial classes all through school. A guy tells his psychiatrist: It was terrible. I was away on business, and I wired my wife that I'd be back a day early. I rushed home from the airport and found her in bed with my best friend. I don't get it. How could she do this to me? "Well," says the psychiatrist. "Maybe she didn't get your telegram." "No, she got it" replies the man. They both remain silent for the rest of the session, after which the psychiatrist proceeds to charge the man $60 for it. What do you call it when 2 blacks, 3 mexicans, and a jew escape from prison? A jailbreak. Yo' Mama's so fat the doctors put her on Enalapril for her blood pressure.

Additional Details David A, thanks for the correction on the first soft landing on the moon, and incidentally, of course Im biased, ITS MY LIST, MY OPINION! opinions by nature are biased. My criteria for achievement is a combination of results, success, and innovation in relation to contemporary programs of the same time period. Dr Goddards liquid fuel rocket is a key milestone in rocketry but at the time spaceflight did not exist, therefore its not an achievement in spaceflight. Spaceship one is a great technological achevement for a non government entity, however the real hurdle to spaceflight is velocity, not altitude. going mach 25 at 200mi alt (like vostok 1) is an exponentially more difficult achievement than going 60miles vertical at mach 3. granted its a private company but its almost half a century later! and not close in altitude and velocity. Incedintally the second flight was very close to departure. Binnie admitted that he couldn't control the roll rate until he ent decent config. 2 hours ago Cassini-Huygens. well, thats an opinion. as a modern probe its definately a "GREAT" program, but do really think it surpasses voyager, the great observatories, the first spacecraft, the first to reach the gas giants. consider the time period. sure cassini-huygens is more impressive than pioneer but you have to factor in the expectations of the time. 2 hours ago Mars Pathfinder- great mission considering the time since we were on mars prior. Sojourner wasnt the first unmanned rover. I gave the MER the nod because of the amount of data returned and the length of the research mission. 2 hours ago Gimini- an evolution of mercury. hammered out essensial spacefaring methods and tehniques required for the moon landing. Evolutionary but not revolutionary. 2 hours ago X-15- Absolutely awesome aerospace program. Produced the "immortal" Neil Armstrong. Just like Spaceship 1 it barely qualifies as spacefaring. 62 miles up at mach 6 is amazing but it dosnt compare to 200 miles at mach 25. theres a reason why alan shepherd isnt on the list. Its barely spaceflight! it qualifies as spaceflight but barely, how is this a great spaceflight achievemt? 2 hours ago Tiros-1 - kind onf obscure. imo i would go with Syncom 2 (1963) as one of the greatest achievements in launch percision. the first sattellite to reach geosynchronus orbit. In my opinion mounting a camera on a payload 450mi alt dosn't really match the achievement of stationing one at 26000mi. Although milestones of spaceflight, i didnt include either because i consider them both evelutionary developments.. 2 hours ago A really cool thing about the STS if that id could land at almost any major airport in the world (depending on orbital inclination). Not that it would, but it could. (and roll up to the terminal) :-P You gotta admit, thats pretty cool! 2 hours ago Dave A, maybe you should make your own list before criticising mine. Once you make your list then we can debate. ;-) 1 second
