| Co-host Rob Dew will cover news for the day, including calls from the former head of the Secret Service to establish a 'global e-mail fusion center' that would effectively be capable of tracking and tracing all private mail sent over the Internet-- in the name, of course, of stopping terrorism. Reports show that Homeland Security conducted an unannounced ID checkpoint at a Florida social security office, refusing to explain to the media or Florida officials the rationale behind the heavily-armed "drill." "With their blue and white SUVs circled around the Main Street office, at least one official was posted on the door with a semiautomatic rifle, randomly checking identifications. And other officers, some with K-9s, sifted through the building," reported the Daily Commercial. The TSA continues to face not only opposition to its policies from travelers, but from credible critics as well. Dr. Edward Dauer, head of radiology at the Florida Medical Center, has come forward to warn that the controversial body scanners used at airport checkpoints can cause cancer, particularly affecting those over age 65, as well as women of all age who've been found with genetic predisposition to developing breast cancer. www.prisonplanet.tv |
