Full Body Scanners Arrive at Airports - Along with Skepticism, Daniel B. Wood

link to article

The "The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has announced that nine more US airports will receive the scanners as Obama administration heightens the security due to an attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas day. There are few issues that come up. First it is a "virtual strip search". It litereally shows your body without your clothes to search any bombs under you private parts or somewehere it can't be searched by patting. Some wants the full body scanners because of the safety, but there are also who doesn't want the full body scanners not just because it shows the "naked" body. These machines are expensive, and they need to be taken care of. They need to be calibrated, operated, and maintained. It also might delay the time of the flight because it will take hours of scanning thousands of people.
The argument is supported effectively by stating not just one side but both. It supports mostly on against having those machines, and those two sides are logically supported. The argument is persuasive beacue it gives pretty good logical informations. It has information about the percentages of those who prefer the scanners and those who doens't prefer. Even though thre are more people who want the scanners this article stays with the side that is against the scanners. I think it did reach the intended audience because during our economy crisis everyone will be focused on dollars, and this article talks about the cost of these machines.
This article made me feel that we don't need these machines to check our skins under our clothes. The issue might not be a big deal, but I think it is. If we were to get rid of the scanners the security will be loosened, but we would have to spend more money on the security if they were to use the machines. We can choose our way to be searched at the air port and the machines might go to waste of everyone chooses to be searched by patting, so it would be better if we stick with the pat search.

The title of this image is "The Vacuum Sunction Method- The Baby Comes Out In Little Pieces!". The babies are being killed by a vacuum cleaner and being torn into pieces.
I think that this image is very controversial because thsoe unborn babies are being "thrown" away like dirt. They don't have any choices, but it's our responsibility to give them that choice to live. You might not remember it well but you were also in that place where you didn't have choice.
The opposing side of the abortion will say the lives of the human beings is sacred and should not be our choice to kill them. Imagine if were in your mother's womb and doesn't want to die, but can't tell them you don't want to die. I'm sure no one would want to die.
The other side just doesn't care about the unborn baby because they can't feel emotions or pain, and say it is okay to have the abortion. Some might say if pergnant woman to have an abortion at early stage they just destroying a clump of cells, and the baby belongs to the mother so she has the right to have abortion.
I think the image is little bit disturbed, but it is making the point very clear. It also would be very effective because the image of baby after it went through the vacuum. We should give them a chance to live.

This article is contains ADF, Alliance Defense Fund, is against the research on human embryos. It also states that the research is against the law, and its not our decision to kill the innocent unborn babies. The issue of tax also came up because taxpayers are forced to pay for the research.
The information in the article is not out of date for my topic. I think this article is going to be valuable for me, but I feel like this article has some emtion mixed into it because it only has quotations from the side who is against the research and not from the side who is for the research. It is too against the research.
This article is posted on April 12, 2010. At the bottom of the article we can send them an e-mail for questions or comments. I do not see any mistakes of spelling or grammar. The article is very clear that there are many people who are against the research.

Thesis

Embryonic stem cell research is one cruel way to kill human being, and it needs to stop. The government should make a law that either keeps doctors from performing the research or won't allow come clinics or anyone to donate human eggs for the research.

Paris Hilton

I can't really think of any other celebrity who are as immature as Paris Hilton. Whenever someone mentions Paris Hilton, first thing that comes in my mind is, what did she do again? She became famous when she was in a show with Nicole Richie where they lived in Arkansas for a month. They showed they're immaturity by making so many troubles. They should be old enough know what to do or not to do. Random two 10 year old girls would have behaved better than they did. Another thing that Paris is famous for was the sex tape. The tape shows that she doens't care about herself. After the tape was shown it didnt' look like she cared that much.
Imagine if your daughter, friend, or sisters were to act like her. It would bring great sadness to the family. Anything that Paris does is unacceptable. She cannot get what she wants by acting like a child.
