#2 Someone told me once, "There is no power in yes" and the following statement so exemplifies it, "because the limit was always arbitrary."

#3 Policy changes in reaction to the coronavirus reveal how absurd so many of our rules are to begin with.

Did someone just take the red pill over at Slate? For decades this liberal rag has never seen a government 'rule' they didn't like and only now they have a problem with additional ones in the face of a variant of the flu virus?

Welcome to our world, assholes.

#4 Your America is a sham. The real America of ordinary non-Woke, non-chattering class, non cool city-dwelling men and women who do real jobs in the real world -- that America is most definitely not a sham.

We're the ones holding things together, keeping our heads when all about us are losing theirs.

#6 The point of the "Arbitrary" rule by the mean and nasty TSA is that Islamic terrorists, supported by the Muslim community in America and Soddi attacked us from within. All of these rule would be nonexistent if Islam was wiped from the earth. We have been fighting to protect civil human beings from the hate and scourge of Islam hidden in the benign term moderate muslims for hundreds of years... GFY

#8 They're called binary explosives. Two substances, when mixed, become able to detonate. Take a couple pounds of each on the plane and blammo.

Rather surprised people aren't aware of this deadly threat to airliners.

#11 Sorry, double clutch.

That was a plot device in some six 90s action movies, Die Hard 3 most notably.
