So much for actually improving airline security. The Feds are dropping the high-school diploma requirement for airport screeners who've worked a year on the job, on the grounds that anyone who lasts a year in such a crappy, dead-end low-paying job really must be extraordinary.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
