The next trip you have overseas might have you showing a little more of your body than you might have planned. After the recent terrorist attack scare on a flight from Amsterdam, some airports are now thinking about introducing ‘body scanners’ to check for weapons and bombs. Many people are against these scanners since they see through clothing even though they might prevent future incidents. Since this failed terrorist attack, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has decided to increase the number of scanners, while other airports like Heathrow and Manchester in England are likely to introduce these machines. I just hope this technology won’t be misused! (by Prof. Wendy Tada)

TOEIC, and the world, are all about business, and especially in the past 16 months, it has become even more obvious how interrelated the world’s economies really are. More than ever before, we’ve heard and read about bailouts, funds, billions and trillions of dollars, foreclosures, federal budget deficits, unemployment and the unemployment rate, and the Treasury Department. In addition, new words and programs have been created, like the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Before the credit crisis, which turned into a recession, some people said, “It’s a whole new world. The old-world economics don’t apply anymore.” But then “reality” reared its ugly head. One might ask, “Has anything really changed?”  (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)
