yaaahyy! another thumbs up from a former Hattiesburg MS person. My first exposure to these guys was opening for Manu Chao last year at Red Rocks. Definitely a hard act to follow.

I've got two eye disease books of animal eyes that have a pop-up viewmaster included and viewmaster wheels of animal eye diseases in 3D!!!! Too cool not to look at... has anyone seen more medical viewmaster finds?

After my last detainment at DIA last week, the head ticketing clerk told me yes, registering for FlyClear will get me off the watch list.
I'm still not sure how detaining all John Smiths will help anything, since any smart bad person will choose an American name that's not too common.
Personally, I think it's unfair to charge people to register their biometrics with the TSA without offering a volunteer program. The whole thing stinks today, since micro and macro biometrics will be mandatory for transit in the future.
I don't see how FlyClear is not a part of the TSA. A FlyClear rep did confirm to me that they register your biometrics with the TSA.
Anyway, I will be buying that stink, because my air passages need lubrication.

I'm so glad I've already paid money to voluntarily register my biometrics with the FAA. Thanks FlyClear! What a scam....

I must take a moment to add in:

I was looking for a way to play MP3s in the shower, and found the perfect one. It's from Brookstone, has a usb drive waterproof compartment, AM/FM, digital tuner with presets. The sound is good, the performance is good.
It's an elusive unit, the brookstone site doesnt have them listed, but I did find a pic.
I'm suprised the market isn't flooded with something like this.
It's around $50.
