OP links to a NYT article by Nate Silver, where they say that it's unlikely you'd be "punished" beyond the airline banning you. I think if an airline actually tried banning a lot of travelers or worse, it would be horrible PR for them, so as an individual traveller, it doesn't seem terribly risky. But setting up a company to aid people in intentionally violating the terms of the ticketing agreement seems like a whole different thing, though I have zero idea wether the airlines are likely to prevail with the suit.

As someone who is old enough that he had to work with some of the alternatives for local area networking... dear God, thank you!

If you're looking for more like that, but lower key, there is an amazing amount of TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME between Rushmore/Bear Lodge and Yellowstone. Ten Sleep Canyon (how is that not the shooting location of 50% of car commercials?). The loop drive west of Lander (camp overnight in the high country...), The Wind River Range.

I'm happy to be critical of US foreign policy (i.e. we really f'ed things up with Iran over the years), but man, the overwhelming majority of our issues with North Korea are the fault of the North Koreans.

How is Craig not a Reddit God along side Neil deGrasse Tyson and the like? He's reasonably well in sync with r/politics, gives frequent shoutouts to the r/trees crowd, has a fair amount of geek cred with his Grant Imahara-built gay robot sidekick, is all internationally, and loves to leer creepily at pretty women... Or do we just not like to look too deeply in the mirror?
