Gambling? VOIP? Privacy?

Were you an online gambler? Has your internet service provider blocked you from using Skype or another VOIP service? Do you live outside the United States yet want full access to Pandora, Youtube, and Netflix? There are ways around this.

The simplest way is to use a VPN. A VPN is a direct connection to another computer. By directly connecting to another computer first, you can then use the service you want in an area where it is still allowed. How does this work? By using an IP address which is based in a country which allows the service you wish to use, you get access. It's an easy solution.

I have been using a paid VPN service for several months. Since I travel worldwide, sometimes my VOIP service won't work. All I have to do is load up my VPN and "viola!" It works! Simple as can be and worth every penny. To learn more, click the banner below and choose which service best fits your specific needs. You'll be glad you did.

SFO gets an "A" for hiring non-TSA security personnel

The San Francisco Domestic Airport hires outside contractors instead of TSA. Believe it or not, there is a huge difference! I went through the San Francisco airport today (with my cats). The man at the x-ray suggested I bring the cats into a private room so they couldn't escape while scanning my bags. What an incredible idea! With all the times I have flown with them, this is the first time ever that this has been suggested and allowed. TSA makes me juggle cats in each arm!

Like always, I opted-out of the radiation-rich, picture-taking, full-body x-ray machine. As I posted last month, this leads to an invasive groping search. This time my private female screener was courteous, polite, and respectfully walked me through the process. It did not feel like molestation and I didn't feel like she pushed beyond their legal rights. It was as good of an experience as being screened can be. So much so, in fact, that I am writing a letter to Covenant Aviation Security, LLC, so her good and appropriate behavior gets positive recognition. Hopefully more airports will get rid of TSA and hire private screeners instead.
