Wilding . . . 0

. . . except that the “wilders” are not who you think they are. A bit from Leonard, Pitts, Jr.:

. . . In his book, “The Divide,” Matt Taibbi tells the story of a musician named Patrick who was assaulted by three cops at a subway station after they apparently mistook a roll-your-own cigarette for a marijuana joint. Patrick thought he was being robbed. Then he thought he was being kidnapped. “Call the cops!” he cried out to passersby. It did not occur to him that the people slamming his head against concrete were the cops.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but something’s very wrong when you can’t tell the cops from the robbers.

TSA Security Theatre 2

There’s nothing like a skilled, trained, competent security agency. And this is nothing like a ski–oh, never mind.

Anyone with a 3D printer can now unlock every single TSA-approved padlock, thanks to a security lapse by the American government agency.

Read the rest. Just do.
