At the TSA site today, I saw a neat little widget in the bottom left of the from page that was interesting. It said:

TSA Week at a Glance: 12/14/09 to 12/21/09

• 21 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
• 37 firearms found at checkpoints
• 3 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
• 37 incidents that involved a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile area breach

You know those work place safety signs? The ones that say “X days since a work loss accident”? Well, set that clock back to zero, TSA. Next weeks will likely say:

TSA Week at a Glance: 12/22/09 to 12/28/09

• 35 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
• 98 firearms found at checkpoints
• 45 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
• 10 incidents that involved a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile area breach
• 2 over reactions of flight crew while in flight.
• 1 Bomb allowed on an aircraft
• 1 Bomb ignited while the aircraft was in flight.

Guess it takes just one, huh?

Yet the director of Homeland security says everything worked as it was supposed to… That’s just stupid!

I saw a simply awesome looking retro gaming T-Shirt today that I just about bought (even though it was $20 + shipping)… here is a image from their site:

Why didn’t I buy it you ask???? Here’s another image from my site:

Now, THAT’S stupid!

I read in interesting article just now on RFID tags in cellphones and how they could revolutionize the world. Read more about it here.

Basically, the article talks about how the RFID chip in your phone could be used as your house keys or car keys… cool use of technology. It mentions that you could buy a concert ticket and then use your phone as a “ticket” to get into the concert. Another cool use!

WHOA! It dawned on me, wouldn’t the people at the concert ticket “selling place” need my home address when I made the purchase? RFID lock at home + purchased concert ticket = they have my RFID key… to my home. Frightening!

It goes on and talks about the fraud control implications where if your phone wasn’t near where your credit card was used they could logically flag the use as possible fraud. But that would require either a swipe of your phone infront of a RFID reader or a huge network of tracking devices that track your cellphones every movement. (Yes, I know it can currently be done with triangulation.) Who has access to this network?

Frightening stuff…

Today begins a new era at stupideststuff.com. An era where we should have no shortage of political commentary, an era where stupid stuff will likely happen on a daily basis, and yes an era where we’ll be able to get the stupidest stuff news from virtually any source on the net.

Finally, we can get behind us the concept (and excuse, in my opinion) that an African-American person is completely blocked from attaining any great position in this country by racial bigotry. We can get behind us the country wide perception that all blacks are somehow discriminated against because of the color of their skin. I have believed this for some time and simply been told I was blind to the real situation, didn’t understand the deep seated racial tensions because I wasn’t African-American, or simply right wing.

Clearly, as a country as a whole—the color of a man’s skin is not a factor in choosing a president, so why would it be a factor in every other situation. Now we can (hopefully) get to the root cause of an inequality that may exist. Meaning, individual circumstances of bigotry— which are no less terrible. But not a mandate that you are barred from achieving the goal you aspire to attain—just that you won’t achieve it in that particular situation and the hope that the opportunity is there. Or now we’ll have to look at the circumstances that revolve around the individual like; was there a better candidate, was the person not qualified, did the person simply make a bad impression, or was there some other reason.

This is good for the country. As much as it pains me to say it because I don’t believe Barack Obama was the candidate that was the best fit for the Job. Had he lost, we would have had to endure weeks of pundits claiming America wasn’t ready to elect a black president, America by and large was racist, and that would have continued the false impression that African-Americans are somehow oppressed as a whole by the country. That would have created a ton of racial tension, that frankly didn’t need to be there because it wasn’t a valid analysis of the reasons most people hadn’t voted for him.

Another infant died recently according to cnn, due to tainted formula imported from China. You would have thought the Chinese companies rolling these crap products out would have learned after the fiascos mentioned in this rant that touched on chinese products that are not safe… nope.

Clearly, they don’t understand the impacts of their lack of concern for the people buying their products. I know it’s not that they aren’t smart– I’ve had chinese people in math class, their sharp as tacks. (Editorial note: some don’t speak “good to engwish of” but we find that they either understand or move out of the way if you simply speak loud enough.)

The article says the “taintedness” of the formula is from a chemical called Melamine, Melamine is a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide people… what would make you think it was safe?

Clearly something needs to be done about this problem. Where is congress? Recess? Time to come in off the playground organizing communities Barrack, time to cut down on the sauce and take some exceedrin for that head ache Teddy K. Either fix the problem or bomb them into submission, clearly diplomacy isn’t working. McCain… can you step in here? I’m sure Sara has a 30/30 she will let us borrow, just give it to Dick Cheney and send him to China on a Panda safari… Send a few Justices along for the trip.
