With relative ease, these items could be inserted into the necks of the pigs next to the jugular veins and carotid arteries. Despite precautions against the carrying of metal objects such as knives and nail files on board domestic and international flights, objects are still available within aircraft cabins that could be used to inflict serious and potentially life-threatening injuries.</p>http://2020.tumblr.com/post/257544846http://2020.tumblr.com/post/257544846Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:39:00 -0800<img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktotp8LVDt1qzn4ypo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>An Actroid was on hand at Kokoro’s booth to demonstrate new camera-based face mimicking technology.
