Millimeter Waves Can Detect Explosives Before You’re Screened

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Did you know that the TSA is on Twitter? And that they have their own TSA blog?  I guess everyone does nowadays.  Today I caught a tweet about a new level of security being tested out at Boston’s Logan airport where last week I flew in and out of en route to Houston.

“Since April 21, the TSA has been testing two tripod-mounted highly mobile passive MMW units that use milimeter waves to scope out possible threats to passengers.  It’s similar to the scans  that you walk through when the officer says to, but those  machines bounce waves off your body to generate a metallic image.  Passive MMW recieves energy generated by people and any objects they might be carrying. The machines look for anomalies, which usually are signs of trouble.

To make the traveling public feel a little better, signs will be posted explaining what the devices mounted menacingly on tripods will do, and emphasize that they are designed to detect possible explosives including IEDs, concealed on a person.

The main idea here is to keep the public safer by survelliance in ‘non sterile’ areas, such as the approach to the screening area, using a tripod mounted device like this shoots the rays out instead of waiting for people to cross through the machines.

Single Parents Choose Off Airport Parking

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Let’s face it: traveling with children can be hectic and stressful. Especially for a parent managing the children by themselves. That’s a situation where they can often wish for an extra set of hands to magically appear. Sadly, many parents will admit that they have postponed or even cancelled family vacations because it has been too hard to travel with their children. That’s why smart single parents know to travel with off airport parking.

Single parents appreciate that off airport parking is typically 50% less than parking at the airport itself. This is a great savings – which means you’ll have additional funds to take your children somewhere fun on your family vacation or even to extend the trip itself.

They also appreciate the fact that when you drive into an off airport parking facility you are always attended to. You are never alone! The off airport parking shuttle bus driver follows along as you park your car, waiting for you to exit your car. This shuttle bus driver will even help you with your luggage for your ease and convenience. This leaves single parents free to hold their children on their laps or read them a story as they ride to the airport terminal.

Off airport parking is the ideal choice for single parents as they know they’ll receive excellent service and five-star customer service. Off airport parking simply makes their family vacation so much easier!
