What has technology missed?

X-Ray vision sun glasses with a depth-gauge adjustment so I can see if you have a broken bone or if you're hiding a weapon.

They might deliver more radiation to your brain than your cell phone.

The accompanying instructional literature for X-ray glasses promised that you could see ladies undergarments... for security reasons, of course.

'Technology' needs to prioritise this promised product.

They were sold in comic books. Would have been interesting to take a look at J. Edgar Hoover.

There is enough open food that can be poisoned. Produce for instance. Besides if someone returned a tampered package back to the store, I doubt anyone would notice if it was not factory sealed, if the person took care. Just the packaging industry making work for itself.

Then, there is the matter of making instructions as small in print as possible. Maybe we had it worse, as all our products have that stupid french on them, cutting the space for instructions in half..

It was Security Theater by J&J to recover a product that was, at the time, more than a third of their sales. They needed to move right away before everyone realized what poison it actually is (as I've said it kills hundreds, maims thousands, is the number one cause for liver transplants, every YEAR). Solves nothing. Like the HSA and their jack booted troops, the TSA.

I don't doubt that for one minute.

I had a boss back in the 80s that would not allow Tylenol on the premises.

I would like a device that would take waste PP5 plastic and remold it into a new small usable shape. The shape files could be GPL and you could down load them for a micro-fee This would not be 3D printing, but more an injection mold that could reconfigure to any injection type shape mold. I'm thinking of something the size a refrigerator.

I'll take one of those as well - I annually produce thousands of tons of HIPS, ABS, PP, HDPE, LDPE, EPS and others. It would be cool to make a finished product rather than just selling it as feedstock.
