I once had a half-full bottle of diet coke I had absent-mindedly shoved into my carry-on bag confiscated by airport security. The guy calls out to his buddies "oh snap, we got another one here!" lobs the bottle into the trash, gives me a "you've just been served. move along."-look and proceeds to laugh it up with his co-workers/frat brothers.

The least he could've done is asked if I wanted to finish my drink before I passed through security check. I felt humiliated and emasculated in front of everybody.

I am the farthest thing from a terrorist, but at that moment I was wishing the most terrible things to happen to those security guards. Not only don't I feel any safer with these so-called "homeland security guards" on the job, I feel like fighting AGAINST them. Hows that for effective homeland security?

'only fear competition from other established giants ... companies whose character as gatekeepers of video distribution and discovery won't be substantially different.'

Yes, because companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc. all started out as established giants, right?
