“The Washington Times is reporting that the DHS wants to replace your
boarding pass with a [0]GPS-enabled shock bracelet. Plans for the device
include subduing passengers remotely as well as onboard interrogation.
There’s even a [1]promotional video.” Perhaps Paul Ruwaldt (the official
named in this story) has been watching “The Coneheads” a bit too much, or
not actually flying enough. Expressing interest is not quite the same as
ordering mass quantities, but it’s scary enough.
