I've heard that sushi chefs inside the secured areas of airports may no longer have knives. Presumably, they have to outside the secured area to do their work. Here in the bay area anything that undermines sushi chefs hits home.

Insane? Check this out:

Great Minds of American Liberalism
In a column called "Kill Them With Kindness," Cynthia Tucker, editorial-page editor of the Atlanta Constitution, offers the following proposal:

Even as U.S. Special Forces scour the countryside for Osama bin Laden, we ought to carpet-bomb Afghanistan and the Pakistani border with the essentials that Americans take for granted: food, medicine, clothing. Bomb them with packets of dried fruit and dried milk and cans of Spam. (Don't laugh; I like Spam.) Bomb them with bottles of vitamins, aspirin and children's cough syrup. We could even take it further, by bombing them with those little toys that come with McDonald's "Happy Meals."

Spam? Hey Cynthia, you're brilliant. Let's drop a product made from "pork shoulder and ham" on a Muslim country. That'll win their hearts and minds.

I have a news bulletin for airport security staffs. My gold Cross pen that I carry in my shirt pocket when I board planes can do more physical harm to a human being than the butter knives they use at mealtime.
