Day 4: "All Hope is Lost"

Ballio here.

I assume you've heard the news by now, as it's all over the headlines, but if you haven't, you can listen to Chuck Weaver's report here.

I have no appetite. I can't think. I can't funtion. During those moments when I'm feeling pessimistic, it makes me ill to think about what might have happened to TSA.

Since Dr. Gupta's grim announcement, I've called him to get more detail on what he's found out--any little ray of hope I can grasp at. The poor guy has been going non-stop and says he won't give up trying to reverse-engineer TSA's computer programs and gadgetry to figure out what he was up to with all that stuff, the theory being that the last thing he was doing before he disappeared was tinkering with his equipment. Gupta says he'll keep working at it either until he figures it out or drops dead. What a trooper.

"All hope is lost": those are not the words I wanted to hear. TSA, if you're out there, give us a sign. Help us out.

Signed,
Ballio
