So let me get this straight, you want minimal invasiveness, but more efficacy? I'd like to not work, but be given a check every 2 weeks. Wouldn't that be great!?
Hyperbole
Now one more time with feeling, this is an analogy.
"Yes, that's exactly what we want. In other words, we want Israel/Ben Gurion style security, which is minimally invasive and incredibly efficient."
Firstly, that was a rhetorical question...
Moreover, if all you can offer is circular logic (i.e. "Israel is effective, so America should be like Israel", then I guess I am looking in the wrong place for these answers.
However, feel free to offer any insight into the actual workings of why the referenced parties (Israel/Ben Gurion) are so effective.
Now shape up or piss off. 'cause claiming "I'm not trolling" but spending your entire post being a hyperbolic asshole is sorta like saying "I'm not drunk" as you wrap your car around a street light at 3 a.m.
Firstly, resorting to personal insults doesn't flatter your intelligence, so you might want to take note on that.
Secondly, what about my statement was hyperbolic? I gave a simple analogy, but why split hairs over literary devices. It's clear you can't note the difference, so I won't fault you for your obvious shortcomings.
Lastly, you still cannot/ have not offered any solutions as to what TD (or you) would do to alter security to 1) make it less invasive and 2) more productive in identifying terrorism.
As most folks know, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
By that same hand, most of the TD community has shown their lack of critical analysis but effortlessly floating the idea that somehow TSA should be more lenient on the search of individual persons, but more effective in countering terrorism.
So let me get this straight, you want minimal invasiveness, but more efficacy? I'd like to not work, but be given a check every 2 weeks. Wouldn't that be great!?
Instead of just whining/bitching about TSA, why doesn't TD actually list the ways they would make security both less invasive and more productive in identifying terrorism.
Also, please just don't point me to past TD articles which then serve to just point to other TD articles. Mike enjoys offering spaghetti'd links without actually showing what his solutions will be. Please prove me wrong. I am not trolling, I am genuinely interested.
" Of course, it seems a bit silly. It's not as if anyone's going to buy a high school t-shirt instead of the college shirt"
Do you really think they are strictly concerned with the sale of t-shirts? Wouldn't you expect they'd be more concerned about the image the high school being conveyed, which might impact the decision of future applicants at the College, as oppose to the sale of a few $20 shirts? No? Okay.
Not sure the last time you looked at either of those cans (Pepsi, Coke), but they are nothing alike. Although, maybe if they both had dragons and a tribal pattern they would...oh wait, but those aren't similarities, I forgot.
Any moron in a hurry can tell these cans are similar. Both have stylized dragons in a tribal pattern, contain basically the same contents, and have similar lettering. If I didn't read this article, I would believe they were pushed by the same company.
AB could have chosen an infinite number of animals or designs, yet they chose a dragon and a tribal design, which is exactly what Joose chose. But of course, having literally an infinite number of possibilities, Mike finds zero commonality between the two cans - why, cause they aren't COMPLETELY identical? No shit, but nothing can satisfy Mike's ego to not be wrong.
Your argument is akin to "look what she's wearing, she was asking for it."
I hope you never meet a pretty lady in a darkened alley, because I mean, you clearly cannot control your base urges when the option is presented to you. Just disgusting entitled behavior.
When I break into vaults, typically there are multiple combinations (millions even!), so I know everyone of them, but of course, the vault only really has one important combination, which opens it. So, I guess I deserve that money after all once I break in, huh?
It's just more and more of this entitlement complex:
"Well, it was a publicly available resource, wah wahh!"
"It's a double standard that the teacher copies his questions from the book, wahh wahh!"
Firstly, just because you can, doesn't mean you should, or that you are ethically in the right to do so. So just because these students COULD access the testbank, with the foreknowledge that the Prof. would most likely uses the questions, ethically compromises there insight into the coming test. Most learning institutions realize this compromise, and whether they call it cheating, or just breaking the honor code, it needs to be dealt with.
Secondly, this teacher can teach whichever way he sees fit. I don't agree with the fact that he takes questions word for word from the textbook, but it is his prerogative. So blaming the teacher for the students actions is probably more in line with the argument a second-grader would give.
Also, if these students truly felt what they did wasn't wrong, then why did every single one of them admit to cheating? Don't give me the line that the Prof. offered them an ultimatum - if these students firmly believed they were in the right, then they have nothing to hide and nothing to admit - but oh wait, they did do something, and they admitted to it.

Just no.
Seems just as easy that it could have redirected into a blackhole, and 15% of all Internet requests were dropped for 18 minutes.
So, China could shut down a large chunk of the Internet with a couple keystrokes made by some tech?
Yah, I'm not buying that.
