I was just going through all of my items in google reader (which includes linuxsecurity.com) and it looks like someone has managed to hack some spam into their newsfeed. I find it mildly entertaining that a site so focused on security is being used by spammers.
Let me clarify that this abuse is most likely due to a bug in the software they’re using to run on their site and not Linux.
Since they’ll probably clean it all up, I grabbed a quick screenshot to show you what I saw:

FYI - I just realized that the aLinks plugin (version 1.0rc1) is broken after upgrading to Wordpress 2.6. The public side of the blog works fine, but all of the admin/posting pages are dog slow. Disabling the plugin lets everything work fine.
I can’t even get to the plugin site to see if they have an updated version (due to its slowness, I’m betting they don’t yet.)

Trip stats:
2167.5 miles

Apparently, U.S. immigration officials incite more terror than the terrorists themselves.
Here’s some interesting commentary by Bruce Schneier regarding the terrorism “tax” that honest people pay. I found this quote particularly interesting:
“More respondents were worried about U.S. immigration officials (70 percent) than about crime or terrorism (54 percent) when considering a trip to the [U.S.].”
