Very funny! Anyone know when it was put on the web? I wonder what happened to his FOIA request.

A point of detail - paper matches are allowed, stick (wooden) are not allowed, according to my last random search. There were two of us in line for a hop from DEN to COS. I'd just come back from CDG via IAD and had three of four boxes of matches from Paris restaurants. I was told I could keep the boxes but TSA would confiscate that matches themselves.

I let them keep the boxes :-)

Being helpful the TSA agent told me I could carry paper matches or bic lighters, but 'strike anywhere' matches were forbidden. I didn't feel like making the point that they matches in question weren't the classic Ohio Blue Tips or strike anywhere. Picked up a bic lighter in COS and went on my merry way.

Cheers,
Jeff

I like this line:

What if there is no "terrorist threat?" What if Bush and Co. need, desperately need, that "terrorist threat" more than anything in order to conduct the systematic destruction they have launched against the U.S. constitution and the good people of this country who believe in the freedoms and liberties it guarantees?

The article is nothing more than one of many self serving political diatribes by a disgruntled loser. I've no doubt he made it up to satisfy his own suspicions that anything Bush or the Republicans do is motivated by some sinister reason that takes something away from him and gives it to the rich people. The story is clearly more class warfare fiction.
