The story sounded very familiar to a Mine tragedy in WV not long ago. Methane was the cause there too. They never stood a chance to get anyone out due to the very high levels of methane filing the mine. 33 people died. The mine was not safe to enter to retrieve the bodies for several weeks. It will surprise no one familiar with American mining that the company in charge of the mine was Massey Energy. That company is all about greed and cuting corners. They are always running Massey commercials here trying to con the public into thinking they are working to resolve these issues. Bull.

I think we just need more dedicated ladies in the front line, like Shaneesha:
I'll take the full body scan when going through security at Sacramento International Airport. Hopefully it will be quick and painless.
If not, then I'll ask to be packed in a giant box with styrofoam peanuts and a giant roll of bubble wrap to pass the time while in the cargo plane. I'll even pay extra for overnight delivery.

From all accounts, you best show up 3 hours early to the airport and be prepared to have any electronic device taken away or even destroyed based on the slightest suspicion.

Either you know and are travelling with an Israeli, ARE one or are in a tour group. All others are highly suspect.
450 airports in the USA vs. 1 in Israel hardly makes this a viable option, though. Puffer technology or, better yet, just freeze everyone and treat 'em like freight.

I am sure its no more invasive than the patdown that I got going to the system of a down concert. the good news there was that women could only be searched by female screeners, but since there were no girls in line I got felt up by a fairly atractive girl, not the guy who looked like he never bathed. good fun. they checked you close enough to know your religion....

May depend on who your trying to PM. If a person has their settings to except PM's from friends only, and they have not added you to their friends list, then it wont go through.

Our interstate highway reststops have those kind of toilets. They are also infrared flushers, so if you move (at all in some cases) it starts to flush. Best to be out of the way. Those work pretty good, but they did the same thing to the sinks too and you end up waving you hands in all manners of patterns trying in vain many times to get the water to turn on, even then, if goes off again before you get all the soap off your hands. Annoying.

I do appreciate the effort, though. I remember when the Simpsons go to Australia, they had a super-expensive device in the US Embassy to make their toilets flow clockwise so it must be true.
Hey, JJ. Go flush a toilet for us!
