What we’re watching: Baggage song and dance, Automatic license plate recognition, Elliott on assertiveness

Our own Jason Barger says Step Back from the Baggage Carousel, but these guys are dancing on the carousel. All in all, its great fun. Thanks to Karen Cummings for sending this our way from Thursday’s Jay Leno Show.

This is one of the original demo videos for Automatic License Plate Recon or Recognition (ALPR). It was developed in Canada and introduced there about four years ago. Now it has found its way into police departments from Virginia to Florida to California. If you thought TSA was getting high tech, this demo shows what’s happening around you that seems almost science fiction.

Finally, our own Christopher Elliott tells us how to recognize when you are crossing the line between being assertive and completely inappropriate when you travel.
