- raganwald 16y agoPerhaps some kind person will respond by explaining why this may be an interesting new phenomenon. I'm not young enough to know everything, and I may be missing the key detail that suggests this is more than just another excuse to fire up the Libertarian Echo Chamber :-)

- rbanffy 16y agoIn the defense of this story, raganwald, I think statements like the one jrockway singled out in other comment could be considered a new phenomenon. A short-lived one, I hope.
- jdp23 16y agoOne interesting phenomenon here is people standing up against rape culture. Another, more generally on the TSA activism, is abuse survivors, Muslins, Sikhs, transgendered people, moms and computer security experts, as well as civil liberties and privacy organizations organizing and standing up for civil liberties.
