Solution for Full Body Scans
This just might work...IBF!
Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at
the airports.
Have a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will
detonate any explosive device you might have on you.
It would be a win-win for everyone! There would be none of this garbage about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long and
expensive trial. Justice would be quick and swift. Case closed!
This is so simple it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in
the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion.
Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention
standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number. "
Works for me.
- Dear Shamnad, Temerity is not always a viurte. Anybody can say "Why can't we...?" The real question to consider is "How can we? How will it work? and why haven't others done it before?". As long as you have no clear answer to these questions it is foolish to legislate on the issue. Surely, one shouldn't legislate in ignorance?Same goes for "Is intellectual property a real property or not?" Don't you find it curious that those who raise this question are people who, though they may be doctors of law, have never created an IP or invested in an IP or licensed IPs? From the bundle of rights a copyright represents, we must distinguish which of these rights need collective licensing and which need to be licensed individually by their owners. The compulsory licensing system that was introduced in India was caused, not ny an inherent disability in the copyright system but by the archaic nature of the film and music industries and their unresolved conflict of interests - many of which have been reported and uncovered in detail in this great blog of yours.It is not enough to read books or be a professor of law to draft a legislation, one must have a practical, business experience of the copyright system: how it works? how rights flow? where the bottlenecks are? why these bottlenecks are there? Are they particular to this market or global? in which direction are the creative industries evolving?I have dealt at some length on this issue because it is crucial to a just, smooth and buoyant market.
- Great Idea!
