Don't Punch My Junk
This is a talk i first gave at DojoCon 2010 regarding the TSA's terrible passenger screening procedures and what we as travelers can do to combat the increasingly poor policies being enacted at our airports.

Some practical advice, plus some overall themes of how people seek to deploy security are discussed. Lots of hillarious images, some NSFW language.

Packing & the Friendly Skies
A fun talk about flying with firearms as a means of protecting any expensive tech in your luggage. Hah, this is not about employing the weapons for defense (we're talking about airports, you lunatic) but rather leveraging federal laws and properly locking your luggage in a way that no airport security, crew, or other staffers are permitted to open it at any time.

The TransStates Air Incident
On September 20th, 2010, Daisy Belle and i were on the last leg of our journey flying back from the ekoparty conference in Buenos Aires. In Washington's Dulles airport we experienced a level of travel fail that would almost not be thought possible under the newly-enacted laws and regulations. And yet, here is what transpired.

The SAS Incident
When discussing the notion of travel my barber once told me, "You can have a good trip... or you can have a good story." While this axiom doesn't hold true 100% of the time (my first visit to Hawaii comes to mind) it most surely applies to our trip to Norway for HackCon 5.
