Bone-headed idea

[unixronin]

"Trying to recognize terrorists and other criminals through fingerprinting, facial-recognition technology, and scanning the retinas of the eye has limitations."  Which is why a scientist at Wright State Research Institute is proposing putting scanners all over the place to recognize terrorists, child molesters, and other criminals by their skeletons.  Because just everyone has a handy database of terrorists' and criminals' skeletons.  Right?

...What's that you say?  You don't have one?  Funny, neither do I.  In fact, neither does anyone else.

Depending on the selected technology, a skeletal scan would only expose a person to radiation that is the approximate equivalent of taking one cross-country airline flight.

Yeah ... every person, on the "list" or not, adult or child, old, young, pregnant, every time they pass a scanner.

What a STUPID idea.

I thought we all had skeletons. (I have mine in a closet)
