The No-Fly List, what a joke!

But not a very funny one, sadly, as Bruce Schneier points out, with yet another story of mistaken identity leading to wrongful, Star Chamber-style detention. Ah, what a tragic comedy of errors indeed!

If you guys are not already reading Schneier in some form or other, I advise you to start! It's all in there, security, civil rights, and how exchanging the latter for the former is--as tha big homey B dot Frizzle himself pointed out--is a terrible security tradeoff.
