The first time I flew after September 11, I honestly was a little paranoid. As I was going to the metal detector, I was looking at my duffel bag, and I’m like, ‘Do I have anything that’s like a weapon?’ I was really paranoid they were gonna find something sharp, and I was gonna get in trouble.

People think that Celera’s trying to patent the whole human genome because it’s been used as – I guess people in Washington learn how to do political attacks, and so it gets used as a political weapon, not as a factual one.
