Security Briefing: January 5th

The amount of reactionary panic that has ensued over the attempt on the flight on Christmas day is absolutely amazing. The more I read on the subject the more I would rather take a train. Not due to the terrorists. Rather, the knee-jerk reactions from senior TSA folks.

OK, on my mark, everyone run in circles flailing your hands in the air.

Sigh, coffee…now!
cheers,
Dave
