Possibly the next chapter in TSA security theater: shoe scanners

Design proposals are being accepted for devices that would scan your shoes while you wear them. Remember the fluoroscopes in shoe stores in years gone by? Lots of shoe store employees got cancer.

When is DHS/TSA going to figure out that a device/protocol that addresses Threat X is invariably worthless against Threat Y?

Need a good laugh? Microsoft made a list of the most ethical companies

This from the company that opened an office in Canada just across the border from their HQ because they couldn't get enough H1B workers. I won't bother with their funneling income through off-shore sources to defray taxes, or Steve Balmer lobbying heavily to reduce capital gains taxes in Washington state, and after it passed, dumping $300 million in MS stock.
