Farmers fear ATVs tearing up fields in Illinois
Dennis Mueller, a Will County farmer, patrols weekends to spot ATV riders plowing fields as lawmakers push for stricter rules. Illinois bans ATVs in state parks except on frozen lakes, with pending legislation proposing license suspensions and higher fines for field riders. Lake County officials report dozens of farmer complaints about land damage and trespassing. Environment advocates urge bans, while supporters argue ATVs pose no more risk than snowmobiles on preserve trails.

Portable X-ray scanners enable detailed semitrailer scans
Bio-Imaging Research in Lincolnshire unveils a portable high energy X-ray unit capable of scanning an entire semitrailer in one to two minutes with a three week assembly time. The device aids inspectors, as only about 2 percent of the millions of yearly containers are checked. The system, called projection radiographs, offers zoom to magnify cargo details and identify individual components.
