Orwell and Bradbury, here we come. I’m not sure if this is one of the intended consequences of terrorism, but it definitely could be considered a fringe benefit by someone wishing the breakdown of a (once) free society. The misapplication of security policies by troglodytes is resulting in the kind of climate that Orwell and Bradbury wrote about in their respective masterpieces, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. Am I being a little alarmist? Yes, but I don’t like the direction this is heading. I sincerely hope that every high school in America has both of these books on their reading lists this year.
