Good quote...from Kip?
“In the hurly-burly and the infinite variety of travel, you can end up with nonsensical results in which the T.S.A. person says, ‘Well, I’m just following the rules,’” Mr. Hawley said. “But if you have an enemy who is going to study your technology and your process, and if you have something they can figure out a way to get around, and they’re always figuring, then you have designed in a vulnerability.”

Joe Sharkey -- oh how the mighty have fallen. Perhaps the end of the article is a little mixed up. It says this:
Is this column like others we've seen just a stage for the Kipster to have one last hurrah?
<yawn> These are "named individuals" and all that blather. This is just another way of continuing to cover up the ineptitude and wastefulness of the TSA.

“These are not dark, shadowy forces,” he said. “They are named individuals, with cells and know-how and training camps and active plot lines. We’re in an everyday multiple-stream world. And our own rigidity can itself be a vulnerability.”
