    Beware of ninjas

    I've said it before -- just wait until The Bad Guys deploy some martial-arts-trained attackers, and kill a bunch of people. Then we'll get to spend the duration of the flight with our hands and legs strapped together with disposable nylon handcuffs. Won't that be great?

    Patrick- love your column. Salon editors- bring us more people like him! Your non-US readership isn't terribly interested in all politics all the time.
