Fixing the No Fly List
We all know the complete mess this is — millions of names long, many people (including little kids) on it who can’t find a way off of the list, and a government agency who can put your name on it, but has no real way of getting your name off of it. Two pieces of […]
Further Adventures in Homeland Security
How to get yourself off of the No Fly list: Change your name. Don’t know how smart it was for this guy to advertise his workaround, but if you are on the list and have the right legal fees and some time, here’s your solution. How safe are you feeling? Sheesh, these are supposed to […]

The House has passed their version of the intelligence reauthorization bill. There is an amendment to the bill that: state[s] that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) shall be the exclusive means by which domestic electronic surveillance for the purpose of gathering foreign intelligence information may be conducted, and makes clear that this […]
The Illegal Immigrants that WILL Destroy our Economy
There has been a great deal of BS around keeping Mexicans, Guatemalans and assorted other people that are looking for a little work to send it home to their starving families. We are spending huge amounts of cash to stem the tide. But we are also cutting in some very significant ways. At ports around […]
