green sceen
(2) Also called "chroma key," it is
a technique for superimposing one video image onto another. Widely used
to place an interesting scene behind people such as a news reporter on
TV, it is also used for creating special effects such as floating a car
on the ocean.
The Blue or Green Screen
The
foreground image is shot in front of a backdrop, which is a single,
solid color, typically blue or green. When both images are combined, the
background pixel takes precedence wherever a pixel of the solid color
is found in the foreground image. If the foreground image is a person
and the backdrop is blue, no articles of blue clothing can be worn or
the background image will bleed through in those locations.
TSA Screeners Indicted in Drug Smuggling Scheme

Four TSA agents at Los Angeles International Airport have been helping drug smugglers pass through security with large amounts cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs, according to a 22-count federal indictment unsealed Wednesday.
The Associated Press reports that a total of seven people—three alleged drug couriers and four TSA agents—are facing charges for five incidents over a six-month period last year in which the agents allegedly accepted payments of up to $2,400 to allow the smugglers through security and onto their outbound flights. If convicted, the TSA agents face life in prison.
Prosecutors say that a 30-year-old former TSA employee, Naral Richardson, was the mastermind behind the scheme, arranging for drug couriers and the screeners to meet beforehand and providing cellphones to facilitate the walk-throughs, one of which included 44 pounds of cocaine, according to the Los Angeles Times. Richardson and the others are said to have used code words, such as "white girls" to refer to cocaine or "Green Bay Packers" to mean marijuana, when discussing the drugs.
As the AP explains, the scheme was foiled when one courier's 10 pounds of cocaine were found after he had gone to the wrong terminal last February, setting off a series of undercover investigations that led to Wednesday’s indictment. You can read more about the case over at the Times.
