Optical edye readers for positive ID
Almost all forums of ID in secret areas have problems:
- Fingerprint readers cannot always tell if it is a severed finger.
- Optical tongue readers did not work out, too messy
- The eye however, shows the most promise.
It is also unobtrusive, since distance cameras can read your iris and identify a person:

The wold's coolest cockpit! - The SR71!
The Seattle Air and Space museum has a Real front-end froma a real flying SR-71:
To really appreciate the SR-71 you really need to be an Air Force Brat, a kid where you would hear the tall tales of the tall men who flew these magnificent machines.
I acrually kn oew the crontrols from my FAA license:
As the Blackbird re-appeared from base OPS an hour later, the leading edges of the wing sill glowing and dull red, against the evening dusk.
It took 15 minutes to roll to the end of turn way 27, and all commercial and military aviation was grounded as they could be an eyewitness seat to wittiness a scene to such spectacular proportion that they would replay if to their grand-children.
As she lined-up o Runway 27 and gunned the twin engines, the earth shook beneath our feet like a heard of wild stallions, inside a deafening roar.
The rotation was glorious; a smooth motion skywards, nuzzling-in 60 degrees. Before the distant boom of her first sound barrier, she was over 70,000 feet and over s hun hundreds of miles away!

The Smokers Friend
Smokers are treated like social outcasts, but I remember the days when American's rights to abuse their lungs was respected. . .
I'm old enough to remember when:
- You could smoke a cigar in a crowded evevator
- Supermarket endcaps had ashtrays.
- You could smoke in the last 10 rows of coach on any airline flight. I was on a flight the very last day that you could smoke on an airplane.
I quit smoking years ago, but I pity to poor souls who must endure socialist oppression just because they smoke.
I was in a Socialist place recently where you cannot smoke on a windy beach!
Smokers are religated to prison-like "lepur colonies", where I noted this meltdown.
The black smoke was horrible, and they called the fire department . .
