Protect Your Junk: Conferencing has Never Looked So Appealing
Does watching yourself on the screen when you video conference make you uncomfortable? Try having complete strangers look at you naked as you pass through an airport security body scanner en route to having that same meeting in person. Conferencing is looking like a much better option.
The new TSA procedures have generated quite a bit of buzz and it's easy to see why. One traveler, John Tyner was threatened with a ten thousand dollar fine after he declined both the body scan and pat down and agreed to leave the airport. TSA claimed that federal law states that any individual who started the process must finish it regardless of whether or not they were still planning on traveling. John Tyner tells his full story on on his blog and in this ABC News Video:

Any way you look at it, travel seems to keep getting more complicated. Conferencing on the other hand, is continually becoming easier to use. What a relief.
