Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2025.10.30 
Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the
advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great
goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the
door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and
simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

Traveling Monkeys

The TSA has rules for handling monkeys. (H/T Bruce Schneier) Hay, I’m a monkey! Or a primate, anyway. Pay attention TSO-types:

  • TSOs have been trained to not touch the monkey during the screening process.

But I want to know, when is the humiliation going to stop?

  • The inspection process may require that the handler take off the monkey’s diaper as part of the visual inspection.

Yet another reason to dislike air travel.
