(Unbelievable) Full-Body Scan Technology Now Deployed In Street-Roving Vans [Video]
This is so not cool. Spotted on Forbes via Andy Greenberg.
AS&E's Z Backscatter Van™ (ZBV) is a screening system built into a commercially available delivery van.The system's "drive-by" capability allows one or two operators to conduct X-ray imaging of vehicles and objects while the ZBV drives past.
The ZBV can be operated in stationary mode by parking the system and producing X-ray images of vehicles as they pass by. Screening can also be done remotely while the system is parked. Remote operation allows scanning to be done even in dangerous environments, while maintaining low-profile operation.

(Video) Rakim addresses Nas "Unauthorized Biography" situation, talks possible collaboration.
Via www.hardknock.tv
Rakim talks to HardKnock.Tv's Nick Huff Barili about the reaction he received from putting out his last album "The Seventh Seal" and he addresses the media exaggerated beef with Nas. Ra goes on to let out the secret that he has been working with Stephen Marley (the generators of his trailer shut down and we lost all the light as soon as he makes announcement, definitely felt like their was a higher energy in the room). When asked if him and Nas could work together in the future, Rakim responds that through the Marley camp maybe him and Nas will do a song together. Lastly he says that if he were to do a song about one person like Nas did of him, Rakim would do it on Muhammad Ali.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of the interview with Rakim, as April Bombai talks to Ra about ghost writing, working on his next album already, performing at Rock the Bells and more.
