>       Los Angeles' subway will become the first mass transit system
>       in the U.S. to install body scanners that screen passengers
>       for weapons and explosives, officials said Tuesday.  The
>       deployment of the portable scanners, which project waves to do
>       full-body screenings of passengers walking through a station
>       without slowing them down, will happen in the coming months,
>       said Alex Wiggins, who runs the Los Angeles County
>       Metropolitan Transportation Authority's law enforcement
>       division.  The machines scan for metallic and non-metallic
>       objects on a person's body, can detect suspicious items from
>       30 feet (9 meters) away and have the capability of scanning
>       more than 2,000 passengers per hour.
