New Brin talks about this at length in "The Transparent Society"
Highly suggested reading. Trust me.
After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."

Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Hmm, where'd you get That birthmark, Suzy?



S'OK -- we Could get used to flying naked, you know ;-) Hell.. it might even break the Puritan death-grip on the Murican psyche! After all, the handshake originated as evidence of a naked arms-free "hand". Techno now lets us hide nastier small weapons almost anywhere.. And so it goes.
