# Sun Ray Blog - The War on Terror: As viewed from the Bourne shell - Hilarious, if you're enough of a Unix or Linux weenie to get it. [smith2004]

# Associated Press - Woman Convicted of Grabbing Security Screener's Breasts in Response to Airport Body Search - The Taking Scissors Away goons can fondle breasts with abandon, but turnabout is not fair play. Phyllis Dintenfass faces up to a year in prison and $100,000 fine for doing so. [claire]

# Stefan Korshak at moroting.co.za - A bribe too far! Ukraine scraps all traffic cops - After being stopped every 30 minutes on a recent car trip and shaken down for a bribe, Ukranian President Viktor Yushchenko decided to eliminate traffic cops. So far, it's working. [clairefiles]

# Cygnus Software - FetchBook.info is a "book search and price comparison engine". They have a pretty big catalog of books and can list, for any book, a number of places to buy it on-line, with prices. You can also browse by category, including a shooting category. They have cover images of many of the books. There is a "Price Alert" feature that will email you when a book is found at a target price. They host author weblogs and have forums. I have no idea how they pay for it. There are no advertisements. Added to my links page, in the "Stores" column of the Other Stuff section. [email]
