@Mi...I always thought you were packing heat, Barb.<br /><br />@Miri<br />Airport security is an excellent example of reactive and illogical over-legislation. Bruce Schneier, from whose <a href="http://www.schneier.com/" rel="nofollow">blog</a> I got the Kitty-painted gun, describes what we see at airports as "security theater." The public reacts to some terrible thing, so the government puts up some theater to assuage the public mind -- defending against what he calls "movie plot threats."<br /><br />I would happily trust Bruce with our nation's airport security. Here are some of his articles: <a href="http://www.schneier.com/essay-299.html" rel="nofollow">the Christmas bomber</a>, <a href="http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/10/me_helping_evad.html" rel="nofollow">getting past the rules</a>, <a href="http://www.schneier.com/essays-airline.html" rel="nofollow">all of his airport-security related essays.</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174524105647416776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309449144277245221.post-7207538397903833512010-04-29T11:26:14.771-06:002010-04-29T11:26:14.771-06:00How do you feel about airport security?

Our security rules keep getting more and more stringent, but they'll never be enough. (All it takes is one to get through, right? And no matter how tight rules get, one person will always find a way around them.) What do you think about it?mkgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032027328606342071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309449144277245221.post-28133919678224548112010-04-29T10:35:10.583-06:002010-04-29T10:35:10.583-06:00Seeing as I have a concealed permit in my wallet, ...Seeing as I have a concealed permit in my wallet, I guess you could figure out how I feel:)But I promise I'll never own a gun with Hello, Kitty on it.
