I travel a lot, too much, really.

I see more movies on airplanes than I do on video, and some months I spend more nights in hotels than in my own bed. Like most travelers, I've been understanding of the delays caused by new security precautions in the U.S. It's sad that America has reached the point where we must examine everyone's shoes before allowing them to board a plane, but if it helps keep us safe, I'm all for it.

I am much less reassured by some of the more technical security measures.
