Schneier: Is aviation security mostly for show? →
jeeves:
The best defenses against terrorism are largely invisible: investigation, intelligence, and emergency response. But even these are less effective at keeping us safe than our social and political policies, both at home and abroad. However, our elected leaders don’t think this way: They are far more likely to implement security theater against movie-plot threats.
The simulacra of...

Next year, UF will not have Tebow, Meyer, Spikes or Strong. I imagine this perfect storm of circumstances will mean top rated recruits will be dropping UF like it won’t even have a program next year. Bama completely ended the Florida era. Even more unfortunate for Florida, they rotate Bama onto their regular schedule next year and will play at Bryant-Denny as a ravaged team.
