backscatter and baja

backscatter technology

"what's meant to protect us...
CAN
at the same time,
destroy us"

nat geo, in one of its specials, featured groundbreaking technologies that go two-way. backscatter provides us the optimum security we need from materials capable of snatching our lives in just a flick. scans through the most dense metals. more advanced than the all known x-ray. however, it breaches our privacy. in short, airports and companies employing this technology sees everything through people, and in people... minus the clothes.
or in shorter terms, let's you view people naked.
shortest term, nude.

opposition groups say it's bad:

seeing things we aren't supposed to see.
and lusting for what we can never have.

but hey, isn't that what makes the world more exciting?
;)

and

there's this BAJA beach club in Barcelona where being a VIP means having chips (a fraction bigger than rice grains) implanted in your system. it also means not having to pay for whatever you order. plus, an elite status. in fact in their media launch, some 'Grand Hermano' ('Big Brother' as translated) housemates carried in them the VIP status. owner Conrad Chase views this idea, special. yeah, special 'coz every single move and step of yours get tracked every single day. and it goes on until the rest of your life. unless you opt for surgery, there's no getting the implants back.

but at least, you don't have to pay. the chips do.
