Megan McArdle’s got “Spidey Sense” to warn her of danger, as told in this tale of her being stalked on the streets of D.C. in her conversation with Matt Welch. (link is to a 1 minute clip of just the story)

She says she has this because she’s from Manhattan. Apparently they must have had a problem with radioactive spiders in her youth.

The story is told in the context of a discussion about guns, self defence, statistics about guns and crime, and the recent Supreme Court Heller decision, and the “Superhero” philosophy of government.
