TSA Security Theatre 2
There’s nothing like a skilled, trained, competent security agency. And this is nothing like a ski–oh, never mind.
Read the rest. Just do.
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.

I have a master key for every one of those locks and it’s a lot cheaper and common than a 3d printer and a hacker site. I call it … Hammer. But, you know, I’m not nearly as quick as teh hackers anymore.

Well, if you want a news story to get play, just include “hacker” in it. That turns it into a Great Big Mysterious Thing because it involves Magic Boxes that only the cognoscenti understand.
I had no idea that there were TSA approved padlocks. That’s a side issue, though. The real issue is that the TSA makes Get Smart’s Control look like mensa.
(Back when I was stepping on airplanes once or twice a month, I figured the TSA would search my stuff if they wanted to anyway, so why bother? All the important stuff went carry-on or was shipped ahead.)
