...respondents who had recently flown said security at airports was "somewhat better to much better" than it was before 9/11. It's easy to see why. The federal screeners scanning our bodies, bags and shoes are often infallibly polite, and in their starched white shirts and pressed pants, they appear more savvy than those privately employed workers who could look more bleary-eyed than eagle-eyed. Americans now say they're more hassled by wait times at check-in counters than those at security checkpoints...

The meaner side of life is made visible to most young reporters. I think it affects their sentimental feeling toward...
...video’s scenes show Maye lounging pool-side, perched on a cliff overlooking a beach or walking among L.A. residents. Yet one thing remains constant despite the Maye’s ever-changing location in the video—he’s always intently writing what appear to be lyrics on the pages of his notebook...
