Helpful and influential are good qualities as well.  It is very frustrating when good, albeit, humorous commentary that contains great solutions are ignored.  All the uproar about new TSA screening procedures would never have existed if either or both of the solutions detailed in my previous commentaries were utilized.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flying Naked  is from 2002  &lt;a href="http://www.almostcoherent.com/naked.html" target="_blank"&gt;Naked Airlines&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Santa Clause Doctrine is from 2009 &lt;a href="http://www.almostcoherent.com/santaclausdoctrine.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Santa Claus Doctrine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Innovative ideas and at least good reads while you wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I suspect things going on under the surface regarding the coverage of the pat downs and full body scanners.  Reports are too off balance and distorted to be taken on face value.  I hope at least that those formulating policy and who are in the know about threats know what they are doing, and maybe, just maybe they'll take a moment and read up here.  Who knows? While enjoying the amusing commentary they may find good ideas and/or inspiration.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6171239515281992846-3839655554430722379?l=almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com/feeds/3839655554430722379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6171239515281992846&amp;postID=3839655554430722379' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6171239515281992846/posts/default/3839655554430722379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6171239515281992846/posts/default/3839655554430722379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com/2010/11/flying-naked-and-santa-clause-doctrine.html' title='Flying Naked and the Santa Claus Doctrine'/><author><name>Ablogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171239515281992846.post-2149872365538348364</id><published>2010-10-28T09:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-28T09:32:28.538-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Post - Almost Debatable</title><content type='html'>Check out my newest commentary on a debate in California's 28th Congressional district &lt;a href="http://www.almostcoherent.com/almostdebatabe.html"&gt;Almost Debatable&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6171239515281992846-2149872365538348364?l=almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com/feeds/2149872365538348364/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6171239515281992846&amp;postID=2149872365538348364' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6171239515281992846/posts/default/2149872365538348364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6171239515281992846/posts/default/2149872365538348364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostcoherentextra.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-post-almost-debatable.html' title='New Post - Almost Debatable'/><author><name>Ablogger</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171239515281992846.post-8989547421871490132</id><published>2009-12-31T12:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-31T12:20:01.965-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Santa Claus Doctrine</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NEW&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.almostcoherent.com/santaclausdoctrine.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Santa Claus Doctrine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Proposed new security policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Santa's been using it for years.
