The Tin-Foil Heat Brigade 5

You can’t make this stuff up.

A man who apparently thought that a pistol wrapped in aluminum foil would be undetectable to airport X-ray machines is facing a federal criminal charge for allegedly trying to smuggle the loaded weapon on a flight from San Francisco to Europe.

    You’d be surprised at how many stupid American guys are apparently always thinking about this. Google ‘aluminum foil x ray’. It’s mind-rotting.

    I thought it only worked against alien x-rays.

    It’s another fringe WhiteManistan thing. As a white guy it’s profoundly upsetting to be genetically one with where most of the pathology resides in this country.

    Yeah, I’m beginning to wonder, quite seriously, whether white guys will be the end of civilization.  Genghis Khan, to pick a non-white guy at random, had nothing on Tony Hayward.

    It’s not a theoretical matter when the most powerful country in the world is paralyzed because it’s dominated by people who are aggressive, angry paranoids who have only one way of dealing with the rest of the world.

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.
