TSA Working on Haptic Tech To 'Feel' Your Body in Virtual Reality
The tech would "detect the contour of a target (a person and/or an object) at a distance, optionally penetrating through clothing" and transmit it to a haptic feedback glove.

Doing something where I need to contact a bunch of police depts, many of which are so small as to barely have websites, and every time I do this I'm surprised that these departments whose sites barely work have pages that are like "policy on persistent drone surveillance" or "how we use our tanks"

Maybe instead of 30 dolls she gets one. And maybe it costs a few dollars more. And maybe it contains the transferred soul of Charles Lee Ray. And maybe it's always yelling "Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you." It's fine.

My brother worked at a drive-in theater in 1970. After the "Mark of the Devil" finished its run he brought home a case of the leftover vomit bags. My thrifty mother noticed their high quality construction. As a result all of my lunches during junior high were packed in "Mark of the Devil" bags.
You saw the movie, eh?

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).
