No one speaks in middle english. Dead language rules and customs are irrelevant to modern language norms. People once walketh befide their mules, but now we gots lambos

Underneath all the garbage, good story. But Holy Hell, why do bloggers write so terribly and self-indulgently? That's a half hour of my life I'll never get back that shouldn't have been more than 10 minutes. Don't they have Rital…

You have to query the no-fly list at check-in and boarding, so it's more resilient to have a list that can be loaded airport-side every morning

I too was at first annoyed by a bit of an overhyping in the title and the overall style as well, until I remembered how it felt when you discovered something yourself, or even just read a good clever report from someone else. You get this rush that this is the coolest craftiest thing in the world.
