  What options should the T.S.A. consider?    Self immolation?

  Israel Doesn't Use Scanners - Room for Debate

  Israel has a security approach that focuses on threats and vulnerabilities, not body scanners.

  
  

  Israel was not dealing with a very frightened leadership when they instituted aircraft security.  

  People were very shaken by September eleventh, 2001. 

  The flight-deck and the passengers do not have a hatch on El Al.

  
  

  • Travelers' New Fears

    David Ropeik, author, "How Risky Is It, Really?"
    "The T.S.A. should have seen this coming. A more holistic approach to risk management taking into account the affective nature of risk perception might have helped us avoid some of this mess in the first place."   
    I can see no point to the T.S.A.   If some Republicans refuse to fly without one, they can take a free market solution and run another air line.  I would love to see them try.

  Young People Will Pay, but Are Choosy - Room for Debate

  People 25 to 34 are the most willing to buy online media like movies and games. Second to them are 18-to-24-year-olds.
  
  I am fond of print on paper.  I will read eBooks rather than do without.
  I have no patience with most video.
  The 18 to 24s have a bit less disposable income.
  Literacy seems to have declined precipitously since youtube and Mtv.
  I see little reason to pay when I have a choice not to pay.
  I am having some trouble getting things paid recently.
  Mother is sure she is broke most mornings.  She hides the bills.
