Good find n4zhg. Thanks. Good blog post. I particularly like the list of reasons. My favorite:

Straw man argument?

Either you don't know what a straw man argument is, or you don't know how to correctly recognize one when it is being used.

Whichever it is, merely repeating this in multiple threads when people are critical of the TSA and use the Milgram experiment to point out the flaws in 'just following orders' does not make a valid point, nor do you immediately win the debate.

Yeh, Stanley Milgram would be quite intrigued watching his theories put to the test.
