The department of homeland security tells me that I’m terrified.

And it’s a darned good thing that they’re there to tell me this, because otherwise, I wouldn’t know it.

I tell you what’s terrifying. Soldiers with machine guns in the airports. I’ve always found that terrifying.

And the idea that not only my suitcase, but also my hard drive without so much as a “please” or “by your leave.” I find that terrifying too. Of course, by expressing this opinion, that probably makes me a terror suspect.

So, now that we’ve been informed that we’re more terrified this week than we were last week, I strongly encourage you to tighten up your firewalls, and encrypt your email, to protect yourself from the terrorists.
