POLITICS BUZZ: The Minneapolis airport bathroom where Sen. Larry Craig was caught cruisin' for a bruisin' is losing its appeal as a tourist destination, officials say. Since he didn't seek reelection last fall, the former jetsetting Senator will now resort to the life of a truck stop lot lizard, perhaps one day bringing fame to some lucky backcountry “Flying J”. Move on, tourist hoards. Nothing to see here.

CULTURE BUZZ: A new security scanner being tested in Australia can see through clothing and is being described as a “virtual strip search.” Here’s hoping there’s not a screenshot feature with the new technology, or your genitals might be gracing your ex’s Facebook profile REAL soon. In the meantime, those security agents’ job description just got a whole lot better.

SCIENCE BUZZ: The British have developed a new camera called the ThruVision T5000 System that can see through clothes at up to 80ft away. Before your perverted heart goes all aflutter, you’ll be disappointed to find out that the x-ray exposes no physical anatomical details, and the technology will probably only be used in airports to like, make sure you’re not carrying a machine gun or a giant block of cocaine.
