...face in about 1/30th of a second. So it's very, very rapid," says Dr. Maureen O'Sullivan, who trains U.S. airport security officers in recognizing them in order to spot potential troublemakers, including terrorists. Since the summer of 2007, O'Sullivan, working with micro-expression detection pioneer Paul Ekman, has helped train thousands of airport security officers in techniques to detect the kind of involuntary physical and physiological actions - both body language and verbal expressions - that people exhibit when trying to hide something...

Chinese security agents even stopped a reporter and photographer from Agence France-Presse from working inside Nepal three days ago, a small but heavy-handed example of China's reach...

Fortunately, Harvard has adopted such measures, providing condoms free of charge in all dormitories and house, while numerous programs and organizations, like Peer Contraceptive Counselors...

Even more importantly, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now perform two tests on all blood donated in order to detect the presence of HIV (by testing for antibodies and the virus’s genetic material), and the probability of HIV-positive blood going unnoticed after passing through these tests is about one in two million. In light of such dramatic changes in HIV transmission—and with reliable...
