DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.

Have fun!

Also! I'm anticipating that somebody will get the clever idea to load a testing unit with live KA and use this as an assassination method. It seems like it'd be a bit more subtle/hide-able/controllable than poisoned darts.

Also, I was wondering about the security measures at airports. That is, why would you need it on the arrivals side? It seems that planes should have a self-destruct mode that can be used *before* landing if all the passengers don't check out clean. (The pilot would be in a sealed area and would just have to go down with the plane if there was an outbreak.

The arrivals security measures are largely there because the TSA, by 2040, has gotten even more crazy-paranoid than they are today. There was an incident with an amplified jet landing in Melbourne. It wasn't pretty. So now they have ALL the security.

Fair enough. I don't know why I thought the TSA would have gotten *less* crazy and paranoid.
