I U+2665 Bruce Schneier. “Much of our country’s counterterrorism security spending is not designed to protect us from the terrorists, but instead to protect our public officials from criticism when another attack occurs.”
Patrick Smith’s mother causes confusion at the airline security counter: Is it OK to take marinara sauce (which is a liquid) onto a plane if it’s frozen (which makes it a solid)? Ah, I feel safer already.

CBS News has got their hands on the TSA’s “No-Fly List”. Sucks to be a Gary Smith or a Robert Johnson.

“The ban was a necessary precaution. We have to be willing to make these kinds of sacrifices if we’re going to prevent scientifically impossible terrorist attacks.”
Something I Learned Today Going Through Security at Logan Airport
When they say that, due to relaxed heightened security measures, you can only take “travel sized toothpaste” through the security checkpoint when flying, offering to squeeze out the excess toothpaste from your regular sized tube until it weighs less than 3oz won’t cut it.
But the unamused reaction to my offer from the TSA agent was fun, so I think I’m going to purchase another full sized tube and offer again on my flight back.
Good move by the TSA: Investing in training screeners with the ability to pick out suspicious characters at the airport; skills that can be used regardless of whether a “bad guy” is planning on using liquids, boxcutters, or dental floss as part of their “plot”.
