Blogging Airline Security and Privacy

Brian Doherty | September 16, 2004

Wired.com freelancer Ryan Singel, who does lots of great reporting on airline security, privacy, and civil liberties issues, has a great new blog going, SecondaryScreening.net. Juicy bits on his front page now include observations on how redaction-crazed government agencies are with Freedom of Information Act requests (when they get around to heeding them at all) and how the Department of Transportation helps guarantee that airline privacy policies are meaningless.

Since I can't post on the kicking thread, here's a link to similar Democratic idiocy, just for balance:

Democrats accused of ripping Bush signs

Do libertarians go around kicking their ideological enemies or stealing signs from little girls? I don't think so. I think we're too busy for that primitive bullshit.

"Similar?" In what way, exactly, is tearing up a sign similar to kicking someone who's being restrained by other people?

Libertarians don't go to those events because (unlike Union members and Republican plutocrats) we have REAL JOBS, at which we must work longer & longer to pay for taxes and save for the coming inflation we'll see after the election!

They're both assaults.
