Hillary Clinton Can Check Her E-mail at Ben Gurion Airport

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport on Monday to meet with leaders of Israel's political parties. Despite being continually dogged by accusations of low safety standards, including a recent salvo from the European Aviation Safety Agency, Ben Gurion International continues to welcome high-profile and high-security guests like the Pope, who's scheduled to pass through there May 11 en route to say a papal mass in Nazareth

We don't know if she immediately made a pit stop in order to see if her boss Barry sent her some TPS reports to fill out, but she could have using the free WiFi in Terminal 3. Whether you're the public face of a world power or just the CEO of your own life, let us know which airports are best for business and we'll add 'em to our Airport WiFi map.

Airport Security: Has Our Shoe Salvation Arrived?

Could this be what we've all been waiting for? Israel's Ben-Gurion International has added a gizmo called MagShoe to its security checkpoints in Terminal 3, meaning some passengers will be able to leave their shoes on.

MagShoe specifically scans the feet and ankles of fliers, and while it doesn't sniff for explosives, it can presumably detect batteries and wires packed into the heels of a potential bomber's kicks. (It picks up both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, though the manufacturer says the device "ignores metal normally found inside shoes to reduce false alarms.")

A foot scan with MagShoe takes only two seconds, which is substantially less time than it takes us to horn our shoes back on while juggling our laptop after clearing a TSA checkpoint.
