Paranoia

A man visiting from Japan gets hauled off an Amtrak train in New Haven by the police for...taking pictures out the window (which, it turns out, is not against the rules). I'm guessing he looked a little too Arab for the conductor -- who should really read James Fallows' Declaring Victory. Terrorists cannot destroy our country -- only we can.

Goddamn right! This whole terrorism thing is getting out of hand. I could go on for a while, but to take an example: What could be more embarrassing than learning that your Mexican friends get interrogated for 2 hours every time they fly into New York? (Aside from actually being the person interrogated, which I imagine is incredibly humiliating.) What do you say to that? It's a flat-out embarrassment.
