Bob Poole on airport security

Bob Poole has some wise words on how to improve the resources presently spent on airport security.

TSA and sexual assault

This is a pretty sad story. It seems to me that the one guilty of sexual assault is the TSA agent, not the passenger. And why, exactly, does this fellow need to be "thrown to the ground"? Why not treat him as what he is, a victim of bureaucratic incompetence and government overreach? Or why not just hand him a Kleenex or two and move on to the next victim ... I mean customer.

Addendum: I was fooled.

Thanks to Daniel Marcin for the correction.

Security fairy tales

The task:

Your task, ye Weavers of Tales, is to create a fable of fairytale suitable for instilling the appropriate level of fear in children so they grow up appreciating all the lords do to protect them.

Good stuff - I liked the Little Red Riding Hood parody the best.
