Here, from pilot Patrick Smith in today’s Salon, is one of the more sensible columns I’ve read in a while on the various follies of airport security.
Smith doesn’t hammer hard-working and generally decent T.S.A. screeners in general, though as experience has taught me, any organized group of people will contain about 10 percent half-wits, and he’s got one in here.
And I couldn’t agree more about PBS which, except for some of the Frontline reports, is starting to look and sound an awful lot like … ugh, network television. And don’t get me started on WNYC radio and its prissy daily local output.
