I don't like how normalized it is to ask "how did you explain sunglasses in your luggage to the police?".

Too totalitarian for me.




Isn't it the reality that's too totalitarian? Should we deny the reality? That seems even more insidious.


That's my point, that the reality is too totalitarian.


You're misrepresenting the issue.

Have one bottle of Sudafed in your luggage and nobody will care. Have 100 bottles of Sudafed and you're going to jail for drug manufacturing.


Oh sorry, you're right, I'm misrepresenting the issue. What's the LD50 for sunglasses again?
