A sane article on insane terrorism

Richard A. Muller has written a cogent and very readable article in the MIT Technology Review entitled "Airport Insecurity." In a nutshell, he smartly explains why banning nail clippers and similar sharp objects is stupid, searching "little old ladies" is understandable, and why it's all about the shoes.
