As you stand in endless lines this holiday season, here’s a comforting thought: all those security measures accomplish nothing, at enormous cost. That’s the conclusion of Charles C. Mann, who put the T.S.A. to the test with the help of one of America’s top security experts.
My coworker, Travis, is such a little darling that he decided to provide me with this article about the flaws in airport security less than 24 hours before my scheduled departure to Minnesota.
Precious. He’s simply precious.
(The article is great and not, actually, as scary as you would think. So read it, unless you already have air travel panic attacks. If that’s the case, ignore this story entirely.)
