Current Events QTR 2 Week 8: Propose Cigarette Product Warning

Summary:
           The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) requires that cigarette packages and advertisements have larger and more visible graphic health warnings. 
FDA issued a proposed rule, Required Warnings for Cigarette Packages and Advertisements, proposing to modify the required warnings that appear on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertisements.  These new required warnings would consist of nine new textual warning statements accompanied by color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking. 

Opinion:

        In my opinion, I think the Tobacco Control Act is right. They should put pictures on the pack so the smokers know what they are putting there selfs in. They also have good warnings on there packets. I think it will make people to strive to quit. I hope this effects smokers and helps them.

Current Events QTR 2 Week 7: What if we ha no air security check?

Summary:
            In this article, it talks about how the Transportation Security Administration seems to have been caught off guard by the genuine anger on the part of passengers in recent days. Americans have acquiesced for so long to just about anything the government has asked them to accept in the name of national security that the TSA may have thought that of course, if safety was at stake, the public would always willingly go along.But the body-imaging machines that see through clothing, paired with the humiliating new pat-downs, have, perhaps for the first time since 2001, made people begin to ask the question: How much is too much? 
Opinion:

         In my opinion, we shouldn't have to walk through these body-imaging machines. We should be able to pick body-imaging or the regular walk through machines. I agree we should be protected but not like this.The saddest thing is that it is, indeed, becoming a controversy in which those with opposing viewpoints are characterized as being on different sides. We should be able to choose on age, weight and height. In my opinion.
