What I like about blog posts is this: they spark a thought in my head. Once that happens, I feel as I have to provide feedback with the hope it’s interesting to some people. Simply because there are various weblogs with unique points of view, they challenge your understanding. It is at these moments when you have significant insignt the rest may not have had, including the blogger himself/herself. I find myself coming back to your weblog mainly because you have numerous excellent insights and also you are already at this a while, which is very inspiring and tells me you know your stuff. Keep sparking imagination in other people!

First of all I’d like to say, great article! I’ve got a little question bothering me, I really like the theme of your blog and tried to download the same design on my Worpdress website. However, there is some kind of strange coding error in the sidebar. Do you have any hints, which settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @ThaiLivin or via e-mail.

Comment on What Happens When You Find Out You Are On a Terrorism Watch List? by Carol B.

My husband’s name is similar to someone’s on the watch list. He cannot print a boarding pass, he has to go to the counter, and the counter person has to find a supervisor. They say “Sorry”, and it’s a royal pain.
He has gone to his congressperson, they’ve tried to resolve it. Didn’t work. He applied twice to TSA sending in a ton of documents. Didn’t work.
He has missed planes, and waited in long lines needlessly. And if anyone has an idea how to fix this, let me know.
The kicker is that he was part of a group that won a Nobel Peace Prize years ago.

Request somebody to lend you phone to make overseas call, book the ticket and fly back home.
The world can’t be that bad.

Last resort , contact embassy.
