My piece on the absurd definitions of the “suspected terrorists,” published last month in the Los Angeles Times, was translated and published by Jornal O Estado de Sno Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest newspapers.

Reason magazine runs my hit on TSA Killers & Apologists
The March issue of Reason contains my piece on the servile media coverage of the TSA’s killing of an airline passenger in Miami.
