I’m going to take a break for a week or so (maybe), but here are a few random shots around the web:

  • I’ve always wondered why the TSA doesn’t make it easier for passengers at security checkpoints to mail packages that they’re not allowed to take on planes. I believe Jennifer has stumbled on the answer.
  • You know how some legal bloggers try to get clients by posting about current events in the news in the hope that one of the participants will Google himself and hire the blogger to represent him? Here’s how the the big dog does that.
  • Timothy B. Lee has a pretty good response to the Jose Antonio Vargas story, but I actually like this piece of his even better, and not just because it’s so similar to one of mine.
  • Then there’s a post of mine at Nobody’s Business about the link between consensual crime enforcement and the abuse of our civil liberties.
  • Finally, I posted the “No Knock Raid” music video that everyone else has already posted. Warning: It’s not cheerful.
