Presidential candidate Dennis J. Kucinich is guest blogging at professor Lessig's blog. Mr John Gilmore was rejected from a flight because Mr Gilmore wore a badge saying “Suspected Terrorist”. Should the flight captain have ejected Mr Gilmore because of the button or not? Presidential candidate Dennis J. Kucinich states:
'We have just come to accept this as a natural state of things because, like Gilmore, we’re all suspected terrorists. I find myself having to explain to people why I, as a Presidential candidate, am repeatedly shuttled off to that special line of selectees identified by the SSSS stamped on my ticket. The transportation security agents inform me that a computer has made this decision. I want to know who programs the computer. Is it John Ashcroft?'

On every leg of both of those trips, I got the "VIP treatment" with the scanning of the shoes and thorough inspection of all bags, carry on and checked. The other time, I didn't get any extra attention. Boy was I ticked!I have discovered a truly marvelous sig, however the sig limit is too small to contain i

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be
