Revolutionary Moderation

Another reason I'm glad to be giving US airports a skip during my oncoming trip



U.S. air passengers will be colour-coded according to a perceived level of risk, to assist minimum-wage security people in figuring out who needs to be kept off of planes.



The code will be "green" (that's you, anonymous passenger), "yellow" (that's me, nasty anti-war blogger and one-time candidate for crazy left-wing party), and "red" (wave to the camera, bin Laden!). This is a big improvement over thier first draft, four-shade colour-coding (from low to high risk: white, yellow, black, and brown).



Too much?
