Hi Lizards!

Just a quick Happy New Year from Stockholm, a chilly minus 10 degrees with lots of snow.

Speaking of airports and air travel, check out the TSA blog, and compare that with Jeffrey Goldbergs 2008 report in the Atlantic on airport security

Thats all for today, Happy New Year!

From Goldberg’s article:

On another occasion, at LaGuardia, in New York, the transportation-security officer in charge of my secondary screening emptied my carry-on bag of nearly everything it contained, including a yellow, three-foot-by-four-foot Hezbollah flag, purchased at a Hezbollah gift shop in south Lebanon.

Say What?

“Calm down, kids! I know you’re disappointed they didn’t have a car swarm today, we’ll go by the gift shop on our way out. I promise. Now stop yelling in my ear of I will go all Jihad on you!”
