It seems the article Terror in the Skies, Again? has ruffled a few feathers and now the main stream media has picked up on it. Anne Jacobsen has written a part 2. Terror in the Skies, Again? Part II.

Seems she's been bombarded with email and phone calls over the incident, but the shocking part is this wasn't an isolated incident.

A couple of gems:

Gary Boettcher, Member, Board of Directors, Allied Pilots Association, said, "Folks, I am a Captain with a major airline. I was very involved with the Arming Pilots effort. Your reprint of this airborne event is not a singular nor isolated experience. The terrorists are probing us all the time."

During a later phone conversation I had with Boettcher, he told me that based on his experience, it was his opinion that I was likely on a dry run. He said he's had many of these experiences and so have many of his fellow captains. They've been trying to speak out about this but so far their words have been falling on deaf ears.

Also:

According to Mark Bogosian, B-757/767 pilot for American Airlines, "The incident you wrote about, and incidents like it, occur more than you like to think. It is a 'dirty little secret' that all of us, as crew members, have known about for quite some time."

I guess I'm like the rest, what the hell is the government doing about this? I for one could care less about being politically correct. I've had my underwires (bra) patted and the wand over my boobs more times than I care for. God knows what profile I fit.

I suppose I'd be over the top if I said: If you are from the middle east and you are getting profiled and searched going through airports...tough shit, take it or go back to where you came from.

So I guess I'll refrain from saying that. Next time.

I haven't seen much in the news lately about flash mobs, but this one definitely had a little different twist to it:

A "flash mob" of PC-toting technophiles descended on the University of San Francisco's Koret Gym on Saturday, hoping to create one of the fastest supercomputers in the world.

They ended up with a total of 669 computers. They fell short of their goal but the concept of it still seems quite amazing.

There is something about NASA
asking an actor to play a real life astronaut that just doesn't seem plausible. Or right. Or sane. I mean just because he has a great ass and tons of money and I'm sure would look really really hot in space suit doesn't mean they should ask him....does it?
