    Your next book ...

    Patrick,

    This was another fine article. I love the way that you cut through the muddy thinking behind much of our current air travel security policy.

    I was also happy to see you quote Bruce Schneier and Beyond Fear. I remember thinking about your post 9/11 columns when I read that book. I think Bruce and you should co-author a book on air travel security. Maybe the topic is a little narrow, but I would buy it.
