I read this back when it was first posted, and it still rings just as true 23 years later.
Very good article.
Strange case in that the author is a known liar, but the article is nevertheless very interesting and insightful. Humans be weird.
The real resolution of what I said is that we should stop doing all that other security theatre and target the security efforts more effectively. I’m not sure what the right pre-flight screening is (people very seriously do not need guns on planes), but worrying about nail clippers sure isn’t it.
