* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

The Ottawa airport is the second airport in the country to be using CATSA’s new technology.

Curious to know what effects a CT X-ray would have on cameras or other sensitive equipment.
