Carson Williams Turns Lights Off
To everyone coming to this blog via a search for Carson Williams, it seems that he's decided to turn off his light display, which featured a holiday light show synchronized with music. It sounds as though safety became an issue when the street got clogged with eager viewers. News of the display spread like wildfire after TV shows interviewed Mr. Williams and videos of the show were shared online. I hope he's still glad he did all that work and shared his great display with others.

Identification and Passengers
In reference to showing identification before boarding a plane: If Justice Department attorney Joshua Waldman is quoted correctly then he believes that "the requirement promotes the right to travel by protecting everyone's safety." I would like to voice my disagreement with the gentleman's stance. A person could live as a model citizen for many years, go absolutely mad one day and then board a plane with the express intent of causing death and destruction. The mere presentation of an ID will never prevent mental illness, despair or suicide. Nor will it prevent people from willfully establishing a respectable lifestyle for decades in preparation for one last act of suicidal terror. If they intend to keep foisting this sort of ritual on travelers they should at least come up with some better reasons than this.
