Body Scan Boycott

Can You Say "Epically Ill-Timed Slowdown?"

Air passenger rights groups are calling on people to boycott the US Transportation Security Administration’s new full body scanners next Wednesday, the busiest travel day of the year. The groups object to the scans, which allow screeners to see through a person’s clothes.

Of course the alternative is a more invasive time-wasting TSA agent pat down, which some irate flyers have compared to molestation.

During the Autumn 1965 "Rubber Soul" sessions at EMI studios, London, The Beatles spent an entire day working on this version of "I'm Looking Through You"... But then revisited the song nearly two weeks later to pick up the pace and add the "why, tell me why" bridges in the cleaner arrangement familiar to listeners until this version was issued as part of "Anthology 2," released in March 1996.
