...that they pick up the holograms in credit cards, leading to a sort of disrobing delay as, one at a time, people remove jewelry, rings, even security passes, whose metal clip sets off the alarms, while cameras and bags are xrayed and hand-checked. Since some local scalpers have color-xeroxed fake passes, the guards also must feel the passes to check the paper quality. Unlike the neatly organized system at the GOP convention in San Diego, though, which fed the throngs smoothly to the metal detectors, the Chicago security team has no idea how to organize the lines leading...

At these moments one realizes that his mobility has been restricted only from the neck down...
...Americans are distressed by the domestic terrorism that occurred in Atlanta, but not all Americans are surprised by it, especially not older "people of color." I remember hearing my mother speak of barns and stores and homes "down South" that were burned and dynamited out. Domestic terrorism plagued our communities even during World War II.
