...make a point. In what he describes as “an act of civil disobedience with the aim of improving public safety,” 20-year-old Nathaniel T. Heatwole spent seven months over the course of 2003 smuggling box cutters, matches and bleach onto various Southwest Airlines flights. Following his highly illegal but completely undetected actions, Heatwole sent an email to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in which he acknowledged the criminal nature of the acts but claimed that his pseudo-terrorist doings were motivated by the desire to make the skies safer...

But even as we mope along with our swabs and bleach solutions and top-off our U-pipes, a flicker of hope appears in the daily infection numbers we regard like a cabalistic talisman. Last Friday marked the first time Hong Kong registered more SARS discharges than new patients since the outbreak began. Schools are reopening in stages. Hong Kongers...
