speaking of sophisticated and efficient security measures - last week i met someone at a conference who was having trouble, as always, checking in her 3-yr-old son who'd travelled with her, because he's on the no-fly list. she did try to get him off it, but the TSA was a) reluctant to acknowledge he was even on the list and b) said nothing could be done until the evil terrorist with a similar name was caught. meanwhile, the TSA has forgotten to expire or reclaim the security badges of former employees, one of whom had a pass valid over 2 years after he quit [1]. -rishab 1. http://www.securityinfowatch.com/online/The-Latest/Report--TSA-failed-to-track-security-passes-/18021SIW306
