Big Brother Will Be Watching You At Major Airports


Within the next few years, airport face scanning and tightened security will be the norm. A new program, called “biometric entry-exit system,” will work like a super-sophisticated police line-up. It will instantly compare your features with millions of other faces on electronic file, including criminals, terrorists, anarchists, mental cases and other dangerous people.

So, next time you’re in an airport, don’t be surprised if a Sherlock Holmes scan happens to you. Sometime, somewhere, someplace when you least expect it, something gets into your face and says, Smile! You're on Candid Camera!
What Not To Buy At Airport Stores: Anything! PDF Print E-mail


If aware of prices outside the airport, you’ll soon realize everything inside costs twice as much or worse. Of course, the biggest rip-offs are souvenirs. Does your cousin really need a $25 cup with a picture of the Eiffel Tower on it? Or your grandson a $5 London Bridge t-shirt for $40?

Or a $5 candy bar that costs $1 at your corner grocery. Savings also apply to items related to flight, such as a $30 neck pillow you can buy at Sears for $10, and a $20 sleep mask you can get at CVS for $5. Think before taking long flights that’ll require you to bring home souvenirs and other purchases. Skip overpriced airport shops and buy them at regular stores.
