True Story
So, I'm at Kennedy Airport, coming back into the grand USofA. I'm going through customs. One lane is down (computer problems, no comment on that one). One lane has an agent sitting in it, she isn't taking people through her lane. She seems busy with here computer. Upon, going to the agent in the next lane, I notice that she is reading her email and checking out picture of guys in speedos; on what looks curiously like MS windows. That is how having a full OS has benefited out country's security.
