See-Through Scanners Installed In US Airports
Due to new security arrangement, passengers in US airports can now have the choice of either to be checked-in by physical pat-downs or go through security scanners which can see through their bodies and reveal details of their body underneath. The new security arrangement has been installed in 10 US airports for start. This is being revealed by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
A random selection of travelers getting ready to board airplanes in Washington, New York’s Kennedy, Los Angeles and other key hubs will be shut in the glass booths while a three-dimensional image is made of their body beneath their clothes.

Amazing V-12 Four Stroke Paper Engine
This amazing V-12 four stroke origami is a pure genius at work. I used to pride myself on my Paper Mache skills back in secondary school those years. But nothing beats my imagination as the level of skill and finesse put together to achieve this awesome feat of art and engineering skills.
Built by a self-employed Montreal man named Yee, the Origami V-12 is a paper engine that pumps just like real engines (with the help of electrical wires, a resistor, a motor and a battery holder). It looks complicated because it is: One V-12 engine consists of 195 sheets of fine-printed patterns. From those sets, 1,978 pieces are used in total. And it only weighs 3.2 lbs when finished. This makes your 1,000-piece puzzle look like a piece of cake.
Read the full details here and see whether you can take up the challenge of building your own paper engine. The Origami V-12 engine is available for online for $110
Scandyna Alien Audio Speakers Will Daze You
These speakers sure look alien and out of this planet, but that doesn’t subtract from their sound qualities and high aesthetics. If you are into space things, needless to say these exotic looking speakers should be a must-get for you.
The amp has 50 pumped up watts per channel, so when it’s time to turn up the Wu Tang or M.I.A., you don’t need to flinch as you dial up the volume — this system has some serious punch. In the high ranges, you can hear the smallest details in the music, and with the excellent imaging, instruments and sounds pop out all over the room. The soundstage is solid, too, so you don’t have to be front and center to enjoy the beautiful sound quality. The bass is tighter than a drum, although somewhat thin in the deep end — hey, you can’t have everything. Overall, this is one of the best-sounding small speaker systems I’ve heard in some time.
These speakers don’t come cheap; so you must be prepared to shell out about $1550 if you want to lay your hands on these nice gadgets.
