    It is very apparent from the recent postings, that there is a lot of
frustration going on here.  There are a lot of smart people in this group,
perhaps everyone's energies could be put to better use, by thinking of ways
to better the situations at hand, i.e., ideas for stopping DoS attacks
"before" they reach the intended target,(is this possible? I am just
learning) and coming up with useful comments about airport and other
security that may actually be used, rather than cutting down the system in
use at present. Yes, they may be taking away nail clippers, but you do have
other more effective ways to defend yourself and help others on the airplane
if you are in a threatened situation. Certainly with the smart people in our
group, there must be some good ideas out there for helping to improve
things.  A side note; we have over 35 million laws trying to enforce 10
commandments. Heidi

Hey, get it right: this is an off-topic flame war, not spam :-)

Less flippantly, said flamewar does have some marginal relevance to
CRIME's putative mission. But in the absence of an official charter,
it's pretty difficult to call any discussion that has the word
"security" in it off-topic.
