Shortly after 9/11, Thomas Friedman wrote in The New York Times something like " The terrorists are sitting there laughing at us. They blew up our buildings and our response was to take knives off airplanes and eliminate curbside check in".

Small-minded people like Norm Mineta had to do "something," and do something they did.

Too bad so many people are so stupid.
Who was it who said something to the effect of: "Think how stupid the AVERAGE person is. Now just consider that half of the citizens are even more stupid"?

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity...and I'm not sure about the universe.
