It’s Duct Tape Time 0

Just in time for the holidays, your newest dose of Homeland Stupid:

Federal authorities have received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al Qaeda may have discussed targeting transit systems in or around New York City, the Department of Homeland Security said.

So what? Every self-styled security expert who has surfaced in the press or broadcast media for the past eight years has talked about the possibility that some one, somewhere, might target public transit.

Hell, it’s been done already.

It would be foolish to think that evul dooers haven’t had the same thoughts and maybe even voiced them.

Let’s just hope that, if intelligence actually learns something substantiated, the President has the brains to pay attention. This time.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
