Funny Flying Trends
As a person who travels frequently on airplanes throughout the year, I make it a habit to read up on the current travel trends, advice and tricks of the trade. Accordingly, when I saw the latest news out of First Class, I just cracked up! After reading this article I asked myself, “if people really have that kinda money to spend, are we really in a recession?”
I hope that you’ll click on over here and enjoy the laugh as much as I did!
Likewise, in case you thought flying from Israel to North America could get any more uncomfortable, you’ve got to check out this design, that even after giving it a couple looks up and down, still seems to resemble fashionable handcuffs more then anything else!
Halacha and TSA Full Body Scanners Part 1
In preparation for my Contemporary Halacha class, I stumbled across this new technology that will make the security lines at airports (allegedly) quicker. The new technology will use electromagnetic waves to create pictures of energy reflected off people. That said, while they blur passengers’ faces, the metallic-looking images still clearly reveal outlines of private body parts!
As such, the question at hand is does this pose a halachic issue for religious Jewish men and women in terms of tzniut?
