From 1994 to 2002, I worked for a intelligence and law enforcement software and consulting firm. And I learned a few things, especially post 9/11.

For my current job, I fly, on average, very other week. And the TSA screening process never fails to surprise me with its sheer waste of my time, patience and tax money. I don’t know who to blame: the low-skilled lackeys that operate the screening gauntlet, the mid-level “security experts” who manage the operation, or the policy-level political hacks who want to maintain this illusion of security.

I found a kindred spirit in Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic.
