Could it follow in the footsteps of cable and the Internet and simply contribute to the fragmentation of our culture? See what you think.And, on another note, are the full body scanners about to be deployed in airports incapable of storing the nude images they generate of passengers as former Homeland Security Secretary asserted in a recent op-ed piece?Apparently not.
