this tuesday i was in a traffic court of a small westchester county town, and the first thing the clerk announced was "the new rules in effect after 9/11" (basically, if an the cop who wrote the ticket is not there, the ticket is *not* automatically dismissed anymore -- the cops have more important things than to come to court. like, catch (speeding) terrorists on I95).
we sure live in a different country now. i am wondering what else 9/11 is good for. emission inspections? insurance premiums? and, on a different note, i also agree very much with the author that the parallels with what used to go on on the other side of the curtain a couple of decades ago, become quite striking. best, mishka On 2/10/06, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 2/10/06, Derby Chang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Patrick writes eloquently about some run-ins with security while taking > > planespotting pics. I'm sure many of us have had the same experience.
