Nearly everyone is on some social networking site these days. While this is good in the sense that everyone can stay connected, there are some detrimental effects as well. People need to be better about delineating what is good information to post, and what is bad information to post. Teachers and their scandalous web pages consorting with students are all over headlines these days, and not in a good way. The problem may be the people for the most part and their indiscretion, but the companies may be at fault as well.

Recently, Canadians have had a bone to pick with social networking giant FaceBook. Although the website lays out all sorts of privacy guidelines and other protections to be granted towards the consumer, the Canadian Privacy Agency accuses them of being all talk. Canadians represent about twelve million of their two-hundred and fifty million users.

The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and the U.S. Government have been working on ways to us safe. Throughout the years, they have come up with many procedures and innovations that have forever changed the way we fly, and how safe we are. They introduced the metal detector, a truly pioneering technology that stopped many a criminal from sneaking in with a gun or bomb. Over time though, after no one tried that anymore, things got a little more lax around the security department. Suddenly, the 911 attacks occurred. This was a big slap in the face for the government; someone got through their supposedly unbreakable shields, and a terrorist nonetheless. After this tragedy, airports and any places of aviation are much more secure than they ever were before, and anyone who has sat in a security line forever or been patted down meticulously would agree. They needed something better though, and their answer came in a surprising, futuristic form.
