This story is funny at first. Then it just gets creepy.

    Sorry about that Dakota – that’ll teach me not to test my links!

    This story makes me glad I’m not going to fly anywhere for a year or so.

    It would be really nice if Bruce Scheir’s Anti-Terror idea caught on.

    The surest defense against terrorism is to refuse to be terrorized. Our job is to recognize that terrorism is just one of the risks we face, and not a particularly common one at that. And our job is to fight those politicians who use fear as an excuse to take away our liberties and promote security theater that wastes money and doesn’t make us any safer.

    I totally agree. The terrorists win when our politicians exploit our fear of terrorism to restrict our freedom and rights to their advantage.

    Well I have to fly somewhere in a few weeks and I’m following Kelly Ripa’s lead. I’m wearing comfy clothing with no metal on it that I can help (she deliberately doesn’t even wear an underwire bra), bare feet in slip-on shoes, no jewelry. I’ll carry a few essentials and check everything else. Except my lip balm – I can’t live without lip balm for more than an hour. Maybe I can get a doctor’s note? “Woman will die without lip balm.” I also plan to get extra travel insurance so if my checked bag gets lost, I can buy all new stuff.
