"Call me. I'll answer, partly because you all seem nice, but also because not answering one's phone has gained a completely new social significance over the past few years. If you're 'not in- now, something may well be up."

This is pretty generous. In my experience, if I'm "not in" now, it's taken as "meep you." Which seems to illuminate upon this irrational premise that the caller has about what has my attention at the moment; which is someone or something other than them that cannot possibly more urgent or important than they are.

My awareness and consideration of this goes a long way toward my decision to be "not in."

"What's worse, is that the phrase 'security precautions- has become a synonym for 'pointless annoying thing to do because politicians are either stupid or oppresive-.

"In fact, given that the efficacy of Richard Reid as a terrorist didn't depend on his being able to detonate his shoe at all - as arguably the downing of that flight would not have lead to the years of airport hassle and distress for millions of people - and simply in using our own overreaction against us, I'd be willing to take a bet that this sort of judo move would be something Anonymous would do, as they say, simply for the lulz.",/blockquote>

I'm not sure I buy into some of his generalizations, but he does make some good points. Interesting post. Thanks!
