Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Saturday, 2026.01.31 
If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is
always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you
to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount
of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.

What’s The Matter With Security?

The TSA has already banned one state of matter in the interests of better airline security. What a pain it has been to dehydrate your person so as to secure a seat in an uncomfortable lawn chair inside an aluminum tube squirting old dinosaurs out the back. Alas, I can hear the TSA bureaucrat scribes busily scribbling the next policy change to ban gases:

An American Airlines flight has made an emergency landing after a passenger with severe gas problems struck matches to mask the odour of flatulence.

Dehydrated passengers will henceforth no longer be permitted to breathe for the duration of the flight as all bodily orifices must be surgically sealed before boarding. I predict, soon, carbon atoms will be banned from passenger airline flights. Now those would be safe flights indeed.
