The World According To KrystynnSG

The United States Transportation Security Administration recently invested $1 billion in body scanner technology it claimed would make air travel safer, but the scanners have come under fire since the agency first revealed its intentions. Some people argued that the nude scanners were an invasion of privacy while others were concerned with radiation emitted by the machines. Now, however, it appears as though past arguments pale in comparison to recent information brought to light by scientist and blogger Jonathan Corbett. Read on for more.

According to Corbett, who was the first person to sue the TSA when it introduced the scanners in early 2010, people can bypass the devices by simply fixing items they want to hide to their sides. The scanners bounce electromagnetic waves off of a subject to create an image that shows metallic items in black against the human body, which appears in bright white on the TSA’s equipment. The background of the scans is also black, however, so objects held in clothing on a person’s side will not appear over the dark background in the TSA’s scans.

The cost of renting a luxury apartment in Hong Kong increased 15 percent this year compared to last—giving Hong Kong the not-so-coveted title of being the most expensive in the world to rent high-end residential property.

Renting an unfurnished three-bedroom apartment in Hong Kong costs an average of $11,813 per month, according to the data from ECA International, a global consulting firm.

Tokyo placed a distant second, with apartments costing an average of $9,445 per month.

The high price of real estate in Hong Kong is due an increase in demand and the high population-per-square-foot ratio, according to the Wall Street Journal. To put those astronomical prices into context, $11,813 a month is more than five times the average Hong Konger’s salary.

But apartments in the high-end neighborhoods of Hong Kong and elsewhere are increasingly sought out by expatriates moving in for jobs.
