F451 Fishbowl #3

As you blog about pages 40-63 in Fahrenheit 451, slow down a little...pull in quotations that you think are significant or confusing. Use your annotations to guide you.

As always, maintain your professionalism and enjoy yourselves.

I look forward to reading this over spring break. And, by the way, I wish all of you a fantastic, safe spring break!

You're Being Watched

Naked at the Airport

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Our airports are considering installing technology that would enable the security people to capture and view your naked image in order to make absolutely sure that no one is passing through the gate with any dangerous items on their body. We should utilize this technology in our airports because safety should outweigh personal privacy.
