TSA removes its head of security
Does this make you feel safer? The TSA has replaced its head of security.
They didn’t fire him, only replaced him with another political hack who will likely do as bad a job. Meanwhile, the guy they removed will be given another job where he can screw up in a different way.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

This may make me feel safer, in the future. I realized years ago that the long lines — bunched up into crowds of people — prior to the nipple-squeeze/porn-o-vision security sweep was a vulnerability, and Belgium proved it, earlier this year. Thus, if the next head of The Security Abatement (TSA) makes these lines shorter or otherwise less insecure, then perhaps we will be safer after all.
It is one thing to be inconvenienced by missing an expensive and possibly important flight; that is bad enough. It is another thing to be blown to bits at the security station that is supposed to protect you from being blown to bits.
