TSA Now Inspects All Watches, Glasses, Jewelry, Medical Devices Plus Electronics And Scars  (SAT PAR News Jul 17, 2014) The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has new rules for travelers at airport check-in. Any item that could possibly have electronics, bomb material, hazardous, or biological material of any size contained must be inspected. This includes watches (all types), glasses (all types), Jewelry (including piercings), Medical devices (hearing aids, oxygen equipment, wheelchairs, etc...) and all other electronic devices (phones, games, tablets, computers, etc...). In addition a new body scanner available at unidentified airports for security reasons will reveal all scars. When the scar detector shows hits on the human virtual image, a special room is available for explanation of where the scars came from. Any recent surgery will also be inspected. To make sure all possibilities are covered, fashion items will also be looked at, this will include large buttons, false pockets, large hairdos, and pants/shirt cuffs. There are many more traveler inspections that are on a secret lists to prevent anyone bypassing the rigorous examination.

Disney MagicBands Alarm Privacy Groups With DNA Scan While Whizzing Guests Through Attractions (SAT PAR News Jul 16, 2014) MagicBands allow guests to have credit cards,  reservations, and passes in a waterproof band while they are tracked as to location. The alarm was raised by privacy groups when  it was discovered the bands will also take DNA samples, a new micro-chip can analyze the DNA sample and pass the data to a supercomputer. Disney released a statement in anticipation of the uproar, "MagicBand will allow Disney theme parks to be alert of any medical condition that would endanger our patrons on the various park rides we have. In one case we were able to prevent someone with epilepsy from attending a show that had numerous fast paced strobes. The admission counter was alerted as the individual approached to attend a show, the MagicBand sent the alert based on location of the guest. As some events in the park are free, we need to be able to track individuals who would not be using credit cards or passes." The list of 'medical' conditions that can be determined by DNA is now huge, however many of these are predispositions, meaning they may never surface at all. The concern along with personal privacy is that the attendees will be discriminated against based on medical conditions that do not even exist. Other scenarios are thought to involve liability where possible conditions such as arthritis or circulatory disorders may send alarms for someone approaching stairs or steep ramps.
