In one case last September, a couple in Baltimore, Maryland, checked a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag containing a cell phone charger. Terrorists could be testing the system, or could be conducting repeated operations to desensitize security officials, the bulletin says. While "initial investigations do not link them with criminal or terrorist organizations," the bulletin adds that "most passengers' explanations for carrying the suspicious items were questionable, and some investigations are still ongoing."
Cheese. They are on the lookout for Cheese. They have no evidence that the Cheese is connected with terrorism. But explanations for the cheese are "questionable." They are also on the lookout for devices that look like IEDs: "The unusual nature and increase in number of these improvised items raise concern, and TSA personnel should continue vigilance for groupings of ordinary items that look like IED (Improvised Explosive Device) components," the bulletin says.
Like ipod chargers? I don't mean to make light of a serious situation, but the fact is that people who are professionally paranoid have a tendency to believe their own fantasies. When the TSA tells their employees to be on the lookout for blocks of cheese, they better have some credible reason. It doesn't sound like they do.

Acidus recommends we watch the Techcrunch deadpool, but he didn't link it, so I'm linking it. Its interesting... The sad thing is that there are websites here with fewer users than MemeStreams that are getting more press than MemeStreams or Tabjab have ever gotten by being mentioned on this site as dead. Maybe we should announce that MemeStreams is going out of business and put out a press release. It might actually increase our traffic. deadpool - TechCrunch |

Don't wanna give away vulns for free? Try auctioning to the newly formed market.
Try being the operative word. While WabiSabiLabi has gotten lots of press over the past few weeks, there are only 5 vulnerabilities there, four of which were there when I first heard about the site. Two have apparently been purchased. There has been a public effort to reverse engineer at least one of the bugs based soley on the title description. The problems are: 1. If you put something serious up for auction the security community would react immediately, and they may react by auditing instead of purchasing. A day of auditing costs less than $10,000. 2. You have to sell to the highest bidder, even if the highest bidder is Osama Bin Lauden. This takes all of the ethics out of the practice. I think this has mostly just been an occaision for various people in the industry to express their views on more serious efforts such as those pursued by TippingPoint and iDefense. You can sell them bugs. WabiSabiLabi is not serious until its serious. In any event, I don't really think its possible to sustain one's self as a researcher on money made this way. If you find something, you might make some bucks off of it, but you aren't going to find enough on a regular basis to keep a roof over your head. RE: Researchers seek cash for software flaws - Yahoo!

Most sane investors know not to take anything at face value from the rabid idealogues who live in the WSJ Op-Ed section. But regardless of how you feel about the page, you gotta laugh at this comic:

You know, taken out of context, some of the lyrics of the new NIN album could be directly mistaken for the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic.... nod your head just in case they could be watching with their shiny satellites i hope they cannot see the limitless potential living inside of me to murder everything i hope they cannot see i am the great destroyer

Dude this thing is amazing. Most guys I know couldn't hide a single copy of Playboy in their house without their wives finding out about it. This guy hid an entire underground night club complete with strippers and blow! This story has the most detailed descriptions...
