His intention is to make them secondary. I'm sure the TSA would have none of that - it would just be magnetometer set to the highest sensitivity first - scanner second - for everyone.

People in the lawsuit are US citizens. They just don't want to get naked and receive more radiation every time they board any flight in the US. People outside the US must also sometimes fly to the US for business purposes. It is not easy so

Yes, he has been following this thing for a long time. "Only two things have made flying safer [since 9/11]: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers." http://www.schneier.com/news-072.h

It is depressing that he is a game changer. Not because of the quality of his show and the fact that he has writers. Him having stupid gags is perfectly fine. Having writers watch the gazillion shows on TiVo with him and deciding what is th

Anyone involved in video (movies, music videos, commercials) could put this on heads of a test audience and see what people focus on and how to deliver a message more effectively. I'm guessing people with autism could be detected with these

I agree, everybody lies, it is human. Should it be expected? Lying is far from the optimal way. When a company structure starts to mimic a hierarchical army structure then lying becomes one of the tools to maintain it. If instead of having

Seaside and Smalltalk are awesome. Sadly the last few months i had to resort to hideous creatures like telerik and asp.net to cobble up complex grids of some sorts. I wish there were more widgets for Seaside. Perhaps I'm missing a community
