akdart.com is an interesting site where you'll find "original content, frank commentary and information you won't find anywhere else."
Of particular interest is the Airline Insanity page which covers "overreaction to the threat of terrorism." "This page is about long lines due to security screening, political correctness overcoming common sense (for example, searching Al Gore as if he was a terrorist threat), head-to-toe xrays of every passenger, strip searches, wanding, groping and probing of people, no matter how obviously harmless, and the extra scrutiny given to people who fit a set of secret parameters."
"This page is also about Big Brother's secret no-fly list. If there is a list of known dangerous people, so dangerous that they can't be allowed aboard an airplane, why aren't those people arrested or deported? What does it take to get on the list? Nobody will say."
As an example of what you'll find there, the Tampa Bay Online carried an AP piece Oh Baby: Infants Among Those Caught Up in 'no-Fly' Confusion:
"Infants have been stopped from boarding planes at airports throughout the U.S. because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government's 'no-fly list.'"Anyway, akdart is an interesting non-commercial site that is "updated frequently, family friendly, and cookieless. No frames, no banner ads, no shopping carts." It's a good example of that the Web was meant to be.
