North Oakland Now: March 4, 2009
on March 4, 2009
Good morning ya’ll.
For all you exhibitionists out there, according to the San Mateo County Times, SFO has introduced full-body image scanners as another option for passengers to gain security clearance.

Speaking of showing some skin, according to the Contra Costa Times, skin melanomas are on the rise in the United States. It’s increasing rapidly mostly among light-skinned older people, but please everyone, slop on that sunscreen–we’re all susceptible.
