Full Body Scanners Coming to a Subway Near You
Quote:
Nearly 30 years ago, a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, appearing in a sci-fi movie, “Total Recall,” walked through an entryway monitored in real-time by thuggish officials, as his skeletal form displayed a firearm hidden under his jacket.
This 1990 theatrical episode is now coming to real-life — and the privacy implications are far from fictional.
Earlier this month, to much fanfare, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced the roll-out of a plan to begin deploying full-body scanners in the city’s subway system. Participating in the roll-out was no less a luminary than the head of the federal Transportation Security Administration, David Penkoske.
The TSA has long advocated for the use of scanners, not only at commercial airports, but at other travel hubs as well; and its presence at the Los Angeles unveiling as a partner in the project was no surprise. Also of no real surprise, at least to those familiar with the world of privacy-invasive security systems, was the announcement that the technology for the subway scanners was being provided by the British company Thruvision.

Oh... that kind of subway. Right.
Sigh. Soon, we will need body scanners everywhere. Can't wait until they get installed at the malls. I mean, it wont stop black people from literally throwing children off the 3rd floor but it will prevent scary guns and sharp pointy object.

The other day I broke down and had a Subway steak & cheese (pepper jack, black olives, jalapenos, spinach, s&p, savory caesar sauce, double-meat, add guac, not toasted).
It was p good.

"That good.." is an understatement. That place is garbage.
It's also a shame that when you drive long distance, a majority of the gas stations have either subway garbage or "Green burrito"

Jimmy Johns is edible. It's better than Subway at least. Doesn't hold a candle to Jersey Mike's or Firehouse, though.

True, this happens to all chains as they become big franchises. That's why it's better to spend the extra money and buy from the mom and pop places or a franchise that is smaller.
