Comply with me

Hands off my junk: Airline travelers are finding themselves left with a difficult choice as they line up at TSA checkpoints: revealing X-ray scan or intrusive grope. Herald columnist Julie Muhlstein put those options to local residents.

The Buzz had planned to do its own “Person on the Street” poll on the scan or grope question, but everyone we asked either slapped us or took a swing at us.

Smile, you’re on Candid Camera: A new iPhone app, called Path, allows you to instantly share the photos you take with up to 50 previously selected friends.

Less popular is the iPhone app that allows you to send to friends and family a copy of your TSA X-ray scan.

Get in the game: Herald film critic Robert Horton provides a look at scheduled releases for the rest of the year’s big movies, including “Tron Legacy,” a sequel to the 28-year-old “Tron” that starred Jeff Bridges as a computer programmer who gets sucked into a computer game.

We’re assuming that, as in the original, Bridges, and the extra girth he’s gained in the last 28 years, has to wear an iridescent body suit, which probably bears a pretty strong resemblance to his TSA X-ray scan.
