We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

More than incompetent and worthless… The TSA is such a useless organization, they have to ‘beat up on’ bloggers with kids!
Is there not some adage about the sort of men who beat their wives? That they do so because they are trying to cover up their feelings of inadequacy by showing off their ‘power’?
Why do we not just disband this worthless organization and admit it never has been nor will be of any use whatever?

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

But Dale They have such nice grey plastic bins, and they are so generous with them. It’s so NICE of the government to lend us these precious items, if only for a few moments. We should be grateful.
Would the TSA have been more eager to go after Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab if he had a blog?
Alan: almost certainly. He would then have been a liability in terms of the TSA’s key
nationajob security objectives, instead of an asset.I see the Travel Suppression Authority bosses have now withdrawn the subpoenas, and are backpedaling like bad ‘uns in the face of general annoyance. Ha!
Clearly, you don’t understand: the system DID work! No federal employee has missed a paycheck….
Yes, if you liked George Jr’s Socialized Airport Security, you are absolutely going to *LOVE* Barack’s Socialized Health Care…
