every time i'm in the security line at the airport i think "THEY are winning the war on terror."
THEY have us so terrorized that we are paying money for TSA posters and informational videos, and extra staff and imaging machines, and extra protocols and policies, not to mention people to research these protocols and policies and then evaluate them, and then consultants to make pretty powerpoint presentations about them.

anyway, i refuse to be terrorized. and i will spitefully say that i like this - travelling light, having clothes and toothbrush waiting for me wherever i go, and not having a lot of


baggage.
