Commented on Schneier: Fix US airport security by making TSA more transparent
Don't you know Takuan that without the TSA at the airport, the terrorists will win!! And chaos and disorder will reign! Cats and Dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!!! Seriously though, I thought the way the TSA was making air travel...
Commented on Online Personal Narratives from Patients of Murdered Late-Term Abortion Provider
As someone mentioned out on Facebook (where NPR has a story about this) it seems that the pro-life movement ends once the baby is born and then it's we don't want people on welfare. If the pro-lifers really want to...

Airports were designed to permit families and friends to be present at the arriving docking gates to welcome or say goodbye to travelers. Today's new regulations work against the intended design by keeping the population at the main ticketing lobby. The dissonance between the design v. the actual use of airports is what makes air travel a less enjoyable experience....
