We get it, flying is frustrating. Sometimes you have to wait four hours in an airport. Sometimes, the airlines don't treat you like the important person you are convinced you are. Write your rant, and delete it. Just don't publish it under the color of "advice", it makes you look like a whiney little kid.

It's political bikeshedding. Few people have the background to understand Quantitative easing, but everybody gets the squicks about being naked in public.

The politicians know this, of course, and are going to reduce this to a few slogans and beat it into the ground. This despite the fact that very few Americans spend any real amount of time dealing with the TSA.

Exactly. In fact not only could you say it isn't non-obvious, you might go as far as to say it is obvious.

Truly, Apple has become the most boring tech company of today. Months and months of discussions about phones, antennas, internal policies, petty theft, and now business executives. It must be hard being an Apple blogger, and feigning excitement over such trivialities.
