Arming the troops in the sky. Vin Suprynowicz at The Las Vegas Review-Journal - Arming the troops in the sky - why the new government plan allowing pilots to fly armed won't work. [End the War on Freedom] "Those hijackers knew the way the crews were trained to respond, it's only the rare guy who would step outside the box. If they'd just run into the one guy who said, `I'm going to take my flight axe and whack you in the (expletive) head,' that would have stopped it, and a lot of those people would be alive today. But I haven't seen one newscast that said what caused Sept. 11 is the way the government, the FAA, trained the crews to all react the same way, a predictable way. ... The newscasts also "didn't notice" that the flights were all between two liberal cities. Somehow I doubt it's just coincidence that the hijackers didn't hijack any flights going to, say, Arizona or Texas. comment () trackback ()  3:07:42 PM     Lance Knobel on US Treasury Secretary-designate John Snow.   [Scripting News] If a socialist doesn't like him, I consider that a good sign. Of course, he'll probably be a national socialist instead--socialists like to pretend there's a big difference between the two. It's too much to hope that any Treasury Secretary appointee have any interest in liberty or in obeying the law. comment () trackback ()  2:10:38 PM     Study Refutes E-Mail Myth. A new study counters the belief that most employees are regularly overwhelmed by large volumes of e-mail. [Wired News] I get a huge volume of work email, but I deal with it by deleting 95% of it unread. It's pretty easy to tell from the subject lines what actually concerns you and what is just being sent out at random to people who have no reason to care. comment () trackback ()  2:00:21 PM
