...long, 6-ft.-high machines generate a cloud of neutrons that penetrate the luggage. These combine with the nitrogen in plastic explosives to generate gamma rays; an array of detectors identifies the substance. But other items containing nitrogen, including wool sweaters and padded ski boots, can set off warnings. The manufacturer, Science Applications International Corp. of San Diego, says the false alarms can be reduced with further experience. At the moment, says FAA administrator James Busey, "we have no other system available...

Some banners demanded faster and bolder progress toward a free market (A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ORDER NOW!), while others warned that resistance is already building to the hardships reform will entail, especially inflation and unemployment (FOOD IS NOT A LUXURY, PROTECT OUR JOBS!).
