  1. This would have been a completely different story, and probably a lot less funny, had he not been a white person with a beer gut.

  2. Hmmm… I think that’s a different point though. The point of this piece was that all the rules and regulations around air travel aren’t making a big difference, given that (a) anyone can get this stuff through and (b) half the stuff doesn’t really matter.

  • Worse thing from Thiessen seems to be if you don't agree with him that means your siding with the enemy.
  • Plus Thiessen says advocating for the release of detainees who aren't being charged is a "radical/extremist view".
  • Thiessen says if you use your pro bono time to defend accused people you support their views. This can't be serious.
