Airlines lobby for system to speed airport security Biometrics uses scans of iris and fingerprints
By Carly WeeksOTTAWA — A coalition of Canadian airlines and airports is putting pressure on Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon to adopt a biometric travel screening program that would allow passengers to “fast track” through airport security and avoid hassles like taking off their shoes, coats and removing laptops from their cases before boarding planes. The voluntary program, which is currently in place at several major U.S. airports, relies on iris and fingerprint scans to identify passengers and quickly move them through airport security. The biometric screening system is seen as a way to significantly reduce line-ups and other delays that have become a major hassle for passengers, particularly those who travel frequently, according to the coalition, which includes Air Canada, WestJet, as well as the Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton airport authorities. “It’s just another service to passengers,” said Scott Armstrong, spokesman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Obviously, people are always looking for ways to make the whole airport process quicker.” Although some Canadian airports have expressed interest in the biometric screening, the federal government has to approve such a program before it can be up and running in Canada. That’s because Transport Canada would have to conduct the background checks on interested applicants, and Canadian Air Transport Security Authority employees would likely be responsible for helping passengers with biometric cards at the airport.
When passengers are approved for the program, they receive a card that comes equipped with a microchip containing their biometric data that they must bring to the airport and scan on a machine, similar to a bank machine. Passengers with biometric cards would be able to wait in separate lines that have specialized security equipment, enabling them to pass through security checkpoints quickly and easily.
Adopting such a system, also known as a registered traveller program, “would enhance aviation security while improving the passengers’ experience in the airport,” says a letter sent to Cannon’s office last month by the group of Canadian airlines and airports.
The group argues the federal government wouldn’t have to spend any money on the screening program, because it would be paid for by the private sector. Furthermore, any Canadians that wanted to use a biometric screening card would have to pay for the service.
There is currently one company, called Clear, which operates the biometric screening program for about 45,000 passengers in the U.S. Although the GTAA has already signed an agreement with Clear for a similar program here, nothing can move forward until the federal government decides whether or not to approve it.
A spokeswoman for Cannon’s office as well as CATSA said the federal government is currently reviewing the program to see if it can be implemented here.

What's your opinion on this article Airlines lobby for system to speed airport security?
I think it is an option as the US already has some type of program in place that if frequent travelers are willing to pay some fee and pass a background check, they can clear security at a faster rate than others and do not have to take off their shoes, etc.
My opinion is that the passengers that do go with the program should probably have their background checked every year just to make sure they are clean.

How much can I make as a Psychology major? I am having trouble choosing a major that will pay high.?
In your opinion, what major is the most highly paid without the long study commitment? I am considering Law and Psychology
How much can I make as a Psychology major? I am having trouble choosing a major that will pay high.?
I have a bachelors in Sociology and Psychology (double major).
This is USA info:
Psychology majors are dime a dozen as are business majors. Psychology major is the #2 in the country (business #1). However, business majors have more doors open world wide because business is everywhere.
As for a job with a major in psychology, your best bet will be to work in a field outside of psychology. Within psychology you will certainly NOT find any job. If you work outside the field of psychology, you will make something modest about 40k a year straight out of school (same as a business major though less job options), but you will earn much more as you stay in the company. Probably your best bet would be to get a 1 year MBA after your bachelors and earn 50k. If you are interested in working as a psychologist you will need at minimum a masters, but the masters pays really low (45k). If you get a Ph.D, you can make a lot of money, but that typically takes years of getting people to come into your practice. The Ph.D program will also take 6 to 8 years to complete (almost never will someone do it in the minimum, 3 years).
If you want to make 50k a year without doing a 1 year MBA, your best bet is to go with engineering. Engineers usually make 50k a year, but it is also possible to make 55k with a little bit of luck. Problem is that getting through an engineering program will probably take you 5 years. Every single engineer I know did 5 except for 2 guys that did 4 years and an extra semester.
As for studying law, that is your best bet. I am currently a law student at top law school. I will probably make 125k straight out of school if I focus on business law or if I focus on environmental law to work for private institutions; 90k if you come out of a normal school. The fields of criminal law and immigration law can lead you to a decent 80k a year salary (regular schools). Any other field of public interest will probably make somewhere around 40 to 60k a year (any school). However, keep in mind that studying law is expensive and will take 3 extra years of your life, and know that a psychology major will not be that great for admissions.
Reply:The average Psychologist (PhD, doctorate) makes about $65,000 per year - slightly more or less depending on if you are in private practice, university professor, etc. Of course, a PhD program in Psychology is a minimum of 8 years of education. 4 years for the Bachelor's degree, 4 years for the PhD. But for many students, it is more likely about 10-12 years of education and internship (it's hard to do it in only 8 years).
A Master's degree in Psychology will take 6-7 years (4 years Bachelor's and 2-3 years for the Master's). The average pay for a Master's level is about $45,000 per year.
Below a Master's degree is not even worth mentioning.
Reply:psychology doesn't pay until you get your doctorate, but if you are that concerned about money you shouldn't major in a social science at all
Reply:try out for a football team, even the bench warmers make good money.
Reply:With a bachelor's degree, if you want a job in the field of psychology you would probably be lucky to break $30,000 a year (you could make more, but likely in an unrelated field).
Law and psych are two of the worst options if you are looking for short-term study (aside from med school, of course). Both require graduate training to make any money, so if you just want a 4-year degree then out, neither is a good pick. The best money would probably be some form of engineer, as you can probably get a pretty nice job with only a bachelor's (though again, a master's or higher would boost the salary). There is also business, but of course for every multimillionaire CEO there are thousands of modestly-paid, white-collar peons.
However, I would second the notion that if you are only going into a field for the money, then you will likely be setting yourself up for misery, failure, or both. That said, I wouldn't recommend majoring in 17th century Polish literature if that's your passion, but there is probably a happy medium between interest and earning potential that you can figure out.
Reply:Choosing a career based solely (or mostly) on earning potential will ensure you are miserable for as long as you are in that job. Think about what you enjoy and go into that field.

What is your opinion that in 50 Years there will be NO CHRISTIAN in Holy Land.?

How much price we are willing to pay in love of people whose forefathers rejected Jesus once %26amp; they too are not going to accept HIM as MESSIAH/Christ?
What is your opinion that in 50 Years there will be NO CHRISTIAN in Holy Land.?
Nobody seems to understand the point behind your question, Saleem.
But thanks for asking it.
Personally I believe that in spite of all the odds as they appear to our human eyes, the Jews will come to Jesus as a nation before the End comes. And I think the Muslim Arabs will turn to him en masse before the Jews; this is when the Jews will take notice, and be jealous as Paul writes in Romans 11.
Meanwhile it is a tragedy how the Palestinian Christians are being treated by Israel, and an even greater tragedy that Western churches are unconditionally supporting Israel while it persecutes their Arab and Armenian brothers and sisters in Palestine.

I need your opinion on this sentence. What do you think about this one?
This man found in course “No Contest” and on probation for 30 days for sexually assault. The girl asked him for a ride in the back of her motorcycle. She went so fast he accidentally grabbed her by the boob, and said sorry to her later when she confronted him. He didn’t think anything of it until she took him to the court. I know this man just about all my life, and knew how a good man he is. I know he never do such a thing and his record was cleaned until now. The girl put out such a drama in court, the judge said to his lawyer the best is to plea bargain. Even if this man has all the evidences that the girl did this before, also having an affair with a married man (not innocent like she appeared in court) and just about the whole town could testify for his behalf. This man plea bargain in court “No Contest” and on probation for 30 days for sexually assault. He didn’t have to pay any court cost, or list as a sex offender or anything. Do you think this is good sentence for him? Or
I need your opinion on this sentence. What do you think about this one?
the judge diden't believe the girl.yes i think he knew about the girl through court records,what happend was a acciden't.the girl wanted to be a star so people would notice her.
The judge saw through her childish charge,
He had to hand down a hand slap sentince,
He got justice and gave him the least he could.I'm
sure the girl will tell it different.
she could end with a civial law suit aginest her family,and her the girl for damages to his name.
I wish you well,and thanks for carring about a
person who needed you in his corner.
Reply:Isn't "No contest" the same as "Guilty"
Reply:It is true that the case will probably remain on his record indefinitely if he doesn't so something about it. Given how ridiculous it is to accuse someone of sexual assault when all they did was hang onto someone to avoid falling off a motorcycle, I think he definitely should have tried to defend himself. However, at this point I have no idea how easy that would be. He'd have to get the advice of a lawyer on whether they could turn this thing around at this point or not.
Reply:He needs to decide whether it's worth fighting or not. I can't go to Mississippi because of a mistake made by a police officer there when he arrested someone with the same name and date of birth as me. I chose not to fight it. That was over 10 years ago. Who needs to go to Mississippi?
Speaking of sentences, it would serve you well to work on yours. Take an English class. You will be glad that you did.
Reply:Your grammar is actionable in a court of law.
Reply:First lesson in life: LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!
Another lesson : Justice is only as good as the lawyer you can afford.
If it was truly an accident, then No, this wasn't fair.
Reply:i dont think so, if anyone shoulda got a sentence it should of been her, for punitive damages against him. And she shouldnt of been going fast enough for him to reposition grip in fear of his own safety
Reply:No Contest means just that. It means the individual charged with a crime or misdemeanor is not putting up a defense and therefore agrees that the charge is appropriate and true.
No contest is a quick and satisfactory way for the court to resolve the issue. Unfortunately it ruins the lives of the innocent. I'm afraid your friend will have this record with him for life.
Reply:it is a sad fact of life that irrespective of who is telling the truth or telling lies, the court almost invariably favours the woman in this sort of case, i am not saying that they shouldn't but i believe that strong character witnesses should be brought in to give at least an opinion. having said that i truly believe that if the laws in the UK were made to really punish sex offenders instead of trying to 'treat' them then it would be a great deterrent and would reduce cases of sexually assault and sexual abuse, likewise if a woman is found guilty of telling lies to the court in such cases then they should also be severely punished, sadly it has reached the stage in the Uk whereby it is difficult to distinguish between sexual assault and 2 people having some fun. just my opinion. take care and good luck.

What's your opinion about Las Vegas slots?
I'm thinking about another trip to Vegas, but when I visited a couple years ago, I noticed that their slots didn't pay off very well. Anyone else notice this change? Has it gotten better recently?
What's your opinion about Las Vegas slots?
There are several factors to consider:
The higher the denomination, the more likely it is to pay back a higher percentage of your bet. The casino doesn't need to keep as high a portion of the dollar-machine bets as it does the nickel-machine bets to make a profit. Keep in mind that you have to wager a lot more to get that, though, but DO NOT play above your bankroll. Playing $100 on a $10 slot machine may seem like a good play, but you won't get much play if you hit a short bad run. I'd play a 25-cent limit for about every $50 I plan to play. If I brought $200, I'd likely play a 50-cent or $1 machine.
Also, a number of Las Vegas casinos advertise 98%, 99%, or even 99.5% payback slot machines. This means that somewhere in their casino are good-paying slot machines.
Inside a casino you may see a bank of machines that says "99% Payback!" or something like that. If that sign is on a bank of machines, you should play one of them, if it's within your bankroll limitations. EVERY one of those machines MUST average at least that much payback.
And yes, usually downtown casinos have better, looser slots. Try the Orleans, the Freemont casino, and the Excalibur. I found good slots at all those places.
Reply:They say the strip casinos are the tightest. Downtown a bit looser. Stand alone neighborhood casinos maybe the loosest.

Pennies harder to pay out than nickels. Dollars supposedly looser than quarter machines.
High limit areas $1 and $5 are supposed to be loose.

Reply:My opinion is that you are gambling for a short period of time so it doesn't matter. What does matter is keep control of how much you are playing and learn the rules, if any. I have hit a royal flush in a casino that is not "popular" and finally hit one in a casino that is suppose to be looser. I don't believe that you can judge a casino or a whole city by one trip a couple of years ago. If you had it a big jackpot that wouldn't mean the slots in Las Vegas were necessary loose, would it?

Is there too much money in professional sports?
Professional baseball, football, and basketball players get paid way, way, waaaaay to much money in my opinion. If we added all of the money every single MBL baseball, NFL football and NBA basketball player makes over the course of 10 years, I believe it would add up to more money than any second or third world country has. I am a HUGE sports fan, but I feel their salaries are too high! Think of all of the under priviledged children in the US and around the world. Think about our homeless population. Think about that highway that you live near that desperately needs repaired. Think about that village in Ethiopia that one player's salary for a 5 year contract would feed for 10 years. We, as Americans, are spoiled and greedy. Someone gets offered a $60 million contract for 5 years, and holds out for a better offer. Think about how hard WE work for a salary of $20,000 to $75,000 (on average) per year. It's not right. Does anyone agree. If not, why?
Is there too much money in professional sports?
i completely agree with you. i mean seriously, since when can ppl earn millions and millions of $s just for playing some silly game. who cares how good they are nobody's worth that kind of money. y cant the average worker make that kind of money?
Reply:Well it all has to do with the amount of people willing to go watch the sports. Take the NY Yankees for example.... they get approx. 50,000 people coming to watch their games every night. For this reason they are able to pay players millions of dollars to come in and pitch for one inning.
Salary has to do with how many customers your profession has.

Reply:Well it all has to do with the amount of people willing to go watch the sports. Take the NY Yankees for example.... they get approx. 50,000 people coming to watch their games every night. For this reason they are able to pay players millions of dollars to come in and pitch for one inning.
Salary has to do with how many customers your profession has.

In your opinion, what is a reasonable price to pay for gas?
I say .25 cents a gallon and lock it so they can't move it up or down when they want.

Reply:I would say a dollar per gallon sounds about right, maybe even 1.07.
I remember seeing that and thinking OMG how expensive when gas prices were around .97 back in the day!

I'd say no more than $1.75.
