Meanwhile, back at TSA ...

Hosni Mubarak gets all the headlines, but mass unrest has affected an even more stubborn dictator, the Washington Bureaucrat. Yes, the Don't Touch My Junk rebellion has caused the geeks at TSA to go back to their computer screens and redesign the body scanners recently deployed at some airports. (I haven't encountered one yet, though I did see a monolingual video explaining the process at the United security line in Boston. The sole language was Spanish.) This year's scanners, says Rupert Murdoch's new online The Daily, are much more discreet than the multi-million-dollar ones we bought last year.

BTW, as the children say, if you want to check out Mr Murdoch's new venture, you can do so at this extra-legal website, The Daily Indexed. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
