Until there are enough EDS machines to handle all bags, the TSA wants to supplement them with smaller trace machines, microwave-size devices that can detect explosives by testing a cloth that has swabbed the luggage. But these devices have problems too. They require two to three times as much staff as the EDS machines, and security experts say they are highly unreliable unless used according to strict protocols. As Time watched a Denver screener operate one of the trace machines, he had to punch it several times just to get it to register a clear signal...

...latest topographical study indicates that Herakleion was an ancient version of Venice, a city where canals were as prevalent as roads. If Goddio seems like a wizard pulling off astonishing tricks, he has a magician's secret: a nuclear resonance magnetometer, a torpedo-shaped super-sensing device that can detect likely antiquities by measuring the relative density of submerged objects against the earth's magnetic field. As it is towed on the surface, the magnetometer relays data to the survey ship that are plotted on to a computerized grid connected to the satellite-based Global Positioning System. Goddio says that...
