When I was 6 years old, I stuck a knife in my eye. Amazingly, the surgeon was able to sew it back together -- and this was in 1963, folks! Eight sutures in a vertical column right across my pupil. Yes, black knots of silk thread on my eyeball.
I can see pretty well, at least with glasses. I have wondered whether laser surgery could do me any good. I think I'll look (ha ho!) into it.
... it is usually a winning strategy to Defect occasionally. But, as usual, if *everybody* defected, then the not only does the strategy fail, but *everbody* suffers a much worse outcome.
So I suspect that if everyone traveled without ID, today's TSA airport processes would fail big time.
