So this town is analyzing the DNA of dog poop - both on the ground and in the doggie bins to reward or punish owners as appropriate. I knew this technology would one day find a more useful application than catching murderers! (Never see that on CSI...)

San Antonio is full of Poop

This is a marvelous thing - creating energy from human waste. I wonder if some cities would do better than others?

Washingon DC must lead the country on volume of political waste - they could probably keep most of the lights on the East Coast burning.

San Francisco might actually produce mind altering energy based on the amount of drugs in the sewage system.

New York would have very steady energy levels considering its population continuously spouts the stuff.

Any cities that might be different for you?

The postman in Frankfurt was caught when a neighbor saw him tipping a mail delivery into a rubbish bin and alerted police. Full story

TSA Laugh at Naked People

I know your face is covered, but I still get the image in my head of a group of TSA people standing around laughing at my less than perfect stomach….or worse!

Security scanners, which can see through passengers' clothing and reveal details of their body underneath are being installed in 10 US airports, the US Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday.

The booths close around the passenger and emit "millimeter waves" that go through cloth to identify metal, plastics, ceramics, chemical materials and explosives, according to the TSA.

While it allows the security screeners -- looking at the images in a separate room -- to clearly see the passenger's sexual organs as well as other details of their bodies, the passenger's face is blurred, TSA said in a statement on its website.Full story

Cigarette Machines Know Your Age

Does the machine also slap you around the head and tell you not to smoke if you're under age?

clipped from news.yahoo.com TOKYO (Reuters) - Cigarette vending machines in Japan may soon start counting wrinkles, crow's feet and skin sags to see if the customer is old enough to smoke. The legal age for smoking in Japan is 20 and as the country's 570,000 tobacco vending machines prepare for a July regulation requiring them to ensure buyers are not underage, a company has developed a system to identify age by studying facial features. By having the customer look into a digital camera attached to the machine, Fujitaka Co's system will compare facial characteristics, such as wrinkles surrounding the eyes, bone structure and skin sags, to the facial data of over 100,000 people, Hajime Yamamoto, a company spokesman said. Yamamoto said the system could correctly identify about 90 percent of the users, with the remaining 10 percent sent to a "grey zone" for "minors that look older, and baby-faced adults," where they would be asked to insert their driving license.
