Duct tape
The NY Times has an article about the cultural significance of duct tape in light of Tom Ridge’s advice regarding terrorism:
Duct tape is national shorthand for a job done almost right. It separates the technocratic repair elite ? who will order the right part to fix their stove ? from the common folk, who express their individuality and short attention span by slapping on a piece of silver tape.
