 LAS VEGAS - The Transportation Security Administration began testing Tuesday on a new, more modest body scanning system at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, with similar tests scheduled to take place at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the coming days.Critics have complained that the full-body scans are intrusive, but TSA spokesman Dwayne Baird says the software being unveiled Tuesday lets passengers see what its security screeners see, and it uses a more generic image.The new scanning system will auto-detect potential threat items and will indicate their location on a generic outline of a person, which will be i stanley us dentical for all passengers.

 An upcoming study in the peer-reviewed journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research says that some tank-style e-cigarettes emit cancer-causing formaldehyde in their vapor at levels similar to traditional tobacco cigarettes. The New York Times, which revealed the findings ahead of publication, says a second study confirms the results.     The problem seems to be that some tank-style e-cigarettes  the larger, refillable style that vaporize liquid nicotine  get so hot, they cause formaldehyde to form in the vapor they put out. The finding comes on the heels of the FDA   proposal to regulate e-cigs under the same rules stanley cup  as traditional combustible tobacco. However, those proposed rules would focus on the ingredients that go into e-cig juice, not on the chemical makeup of the vapor that comes out.
