Tom Coates is pointing to the new passenger advice. You are now not allowed to take basically anything on flights. I'm glad that the planes didn't get blown up, but the price we've got to pay is anyone flying trans-atlantic won't be able to take anything on the plane. I seriously hope this doesn't continue. I'm not a good flyer at all, and I need sweets, podcasts and some reading material in order to remain sane. I also prefer to take valuables in hand luggage. I'm debating whether or not to travel.

I think that reasonable security measures need to be taken, but the complete ban on hand luggage is unreasonable. The complete ban on liquids is silly - when I last travelled, I needed a lot of water in order to prevent headaches.

Samizdata are very sceptical of the government's response (which is, of course, what they are there for).

Tom Morris tom@tommorris.org

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
