Mark, there have been examples of stupidity in every area of human endeavor. They don't hire MBAs to work security at airports. This is meaningless, just a poorly written rule at worst. |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

The POWERS THAT BE don't want the low-level airport security types using their own common sense. They'd rather a five-year old be stopped, than a terrorist sneak through. Again, it's a question of Type I vs. Type II error, and what the appropriate balance is. On this one, I have a hard time taking the Bush Administration to task. |

So do what I told Aqua to do. Write a letter to your congressmen. Get involved. Change something. In a representative democracy you can't just vote in who you think will do what you want then step back. Got to get involved. Things like this may be pretty easy to get changed. |

I am involved Mik. But people only hear what they want to hear or what they are told through less than honest media. |

Oh I don't know. I doubt you'll see him on the no-fly list anytime soon. It was a better pick than Yusef Islam. |
