Dear Terrorists (Domestic & International) and/or Drug Cartel Members

There is apparently some confusion. Evidently, either or both of your respective organizations might have a funny-looking bald man within their ranks, too.

I've come to this conclusion after being "randomly" selected for full search at the passenger inspection area for as many as four out of my past eight airport trips. I figure this means that I fit someone's description. Perhaps that of one of your lieutenants?

My colleague says that the frequency of these searches might have something to do with my penchant for dark clothing, as well as my somewhat sinister-looking facial hair. Or maybe there's something to the fact that I've been known to occasionally wear smartly polished leather combat boots with my business suits. Call it a trademark.

Thing is, I'm a total teddybear. Really.

I bring this up because I have a lot of travel planned during this month of all travel months. Over the next two weeks, I'll be in Chicago, Silicon Valley, Seattle, Atlanta, and New York. I'll be writing in this blog. I'll also be keeping a photojournal on Flickr.

But, thanks to your funny-looking bald man, this funny-looking bald man is going to have a hard time of things at the inspection arch.

Just great...

This is one journey that really is about the destinations. I very much like Chicago, NYC, and Seattle; Silicon Valley is "home", career-wise; and this will be my first time in Atlanta.

You're probably not so much interested in this, but colleagues, friends, and family can follow the journey with me.

Best,
