Nano Scanner Wand Makes The World A Cleaner Place

Germs -- they're everywhere! Having just recovered from a massive multi-stage cold which caused even hardened New York subway riders to shrink away from us in horror, we have a new appreciation for Purel and hand-washing. Maybe we should evangelize -- how about trying to disinfect the world? With the SkyMall Nano Wand Scanner, we could try, even though it modestly claims to only rid the world of 99.9 percent of germs.

In just 10 seconds, the Nano Wand Scanner will kill microorganisms and seriously discourage dust mites in the area you've run it over. Customer reviews rave that it's very light and easy to pack, but it can burn through things if you aren't careful -- just the kind of thing we want panicked travelers to be wielding wildly in under-janitored airports.

Prior to this past bout of death cold, our preferred method of avoiding germs was just to not think about them. But is zapping everything in sight going to make us feel better, really? Or would running this puppy over every single surface make you feel like you're in an episode of "Room Raiders"?
