If it wasn't a hospital, i'd fight this one all day long... ridiculous actually, but given the need to wheel patients and the like, I guess it is 'needed'.

That pedway is so long they might as well ad a conveyer belt.

We might also see golf carts beeping around and doctors riding segways.

EDMONTON - Train riders validating their tickets at Edmonton’s Churchill LRT station will also have them scanned for explosive and radioactive materials this spring.

Under a federally funded pilot project, ticket machines at the station will be modified to sniff out potential terrorist threats in a test of technology aimed at boosting safety for commuters without slowing them down with airport-style lineups...

I'd rather see them modified to sniff out stinky passengers. Seems more useful.
