What New York teaches us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
1) Why do security officials always take it out on airline passengers? When a man tried to light his shoe bomb on fire, we all had to take off our shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and we couldn't take mouthwash on our carry-ons. In December,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], another guy tried to light his underwear bomb on fire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and for a few days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we couldn't get up out of our seats.
Last weekend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], someone tried to blow up Times Square with a car bomb in an SUV,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and yet SUVs are still allowed in Manhattan. Why? Because the TSA isn't running midtown Manhattan.
Something about airplanes and air travel heightens the emotional response to such threats (as Bruce Schneier and I discussed in a Second Life conversation recently). Thus the mood of fear and panic after this event seems less than after the foiled "underwear bombing" airline plot at Christmas time. But as a matter of logic, the steps above are what the TSA approach would necessitate. After all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we still feel the consequences (shoes off! no liquids!) of the failed "shoe bomber" in 2001,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and there is no foreseeable reason to expect that to change.
There is one other crucial element in the Times Square case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it can't be stressed often enough. So far we have seen a New York-style rather than a Washington-style response to the threat. cities, its emotional and social response is just what America's should be.
3) University of Minnesota Duluth officials have shut down a webcam that showed live images of the school's library. The live stream was also being posted on the Web site of a gay sauna in Duluth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The connection is unclear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Down in the city,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the University of Minnesota Daily reports that the U is shifting away from full-time faculty and opting for non-tenured faculty who can be easily cut. The paper raises the possibility that the trend will result in less long-term research.
4) A study out today confirms what your father told you: TV is rotting your brain. The study of 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],300 children started when they were between 2 and 4. Researchers revisited them when they turned 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and found they did worse in school and had more physical problems. One problem with the science: It isn't science. There was no mechanism for an objective assessment of academic performance. The researchers asked the children's teachers for the assessment.
5) It's Ballpark Magic night at Target Field tonight, but you won't find it on the promotional schedule. The blog that's documented the construction of Target Field delivers one of the better lines we've heard in awhile: "You may also have noticed that ticket prices are climbing precipitously. I'm thinking that baseball outings this year will be about as spontaneous as mortgage refinancing -- and have similar origination fees!"
