Counter Intelligence: Airport Freak-Out Caught on Tape

Check out our daily list of must-reads that will have you chatting at the lunch counter, over instant message or wherever it is that people actually talk these days.

  • Selling embarrassing items is a tough racket. The industry is not for the faint of heart (read: If the term "leakage" makes you cringe, then apply elsewhere).

  • The 13-year-old British boy who claims to be the father of his girlfriend's baby said he will take a DNA test to prove that he is in fact the newborn's daddy. Two other teens came forward and claimed they were the baby's father.  
     
  • It's unlikely that those who undergo Guantanamo-style interrogation techniques would correctly remember the face of their torturer. Soldiers participating in mock prisoner of war exercises couldn't correctly ID their interrogators, a new study showed. Participants were given photos of someone other than their interrogators while in captivity. Hours after they were released, the soldiers incorrectly ID'd the person in the photos as their captor. This suggests that false memories implanted by researchers can seem exactly the same as real memories.
     
  • A leading scientist claims that it's "entirely reasonable" that we share the earth -- and possibly our bodies -- with alien life forms.  The British-born cosmologist said scientists ought to launch a "mission to earth" to scour the planet for alien life forms. He claimed that alien particles could even live within us.
