Sangin Merlin
The watch
The Merlin is the most compact watch in the Sangin Instruments lineup. The version sold today is a 39mm quartz diver with a Swiss ETA movement, a 316L stainless steel case, a box sapphire crystal and 300 meters of water resistance. The dial on this one reads Merlin Solar, a version charged by light instead of running on a replaceable battery.
TSA checkpoint screening
The Transportation Security Administration was created by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, signed on November 19, 2001. The law gave the new agency one year to put federal screeners at every passenger checkpoint in the country, with a deadline of November 19, 2002.
