speaking of transportation, could air travel become any less pleasant?
my theory is that eventually air travel will involve naked people, heavily sedated, kept in quasi-cryogenic storage as they get shuttled from one unpleasant place to another.
i guess i'm also a bit disturbed that the nsa, etc are just now figuring out that terrorists would try to use liquid explosives.
i did an interview A FEW YEARS AGO wherein i said, 'huh, seems like all a terrorist would have to do is sneak liquid explosives onto the plane in a water bottle. that's probably more attractive to them than attacking passengers with a butter knife.'
maybe the nsa should hire me as a consultant...
and why do they ban things from airplanes AFTER terrorists try to use them?
the terrorists are evil but they're not stupid.
wouldn't it make sense to try and figure out what they might do, as opposed to banning things they've already done or tried?
