One of my fears about the current political situation is that the DNC will realize that they can get away with just about anything, as long as they're still not as bad as the Republicans, using the unassailable logic of "what are you going to do, vote for Trump?"
I took that to mean that only one irate traveler per month made it to wherever the complaint box is (locked room in the basement?) before being tackled by security and charged with something like disorderly conduct or resisting arrest.
Well known anti-Muslim troll Pamela Geller has teamed up with a group called the American Freedom Law Center to file one of the dumbest lawsuits we've ever seen.
Ironic and fitting if this lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice.
Would like to see them try this on someone with good pick-pocketing skills. If they can get the cops wallet, they can trick the cop into draining their own cards!
The best part is the cop would never be able to recover the funds, as they are engaged in criminal activity- armed robbery.
Maybe it went something like this: --- FBI Agents to FBI Middleman: Find us a hack for this iPhone.
Hacker to FBI Middleman: Hey, I've got a hack for that iPhone, it's yours for $100k. FBI Middleman to Hacker: It's a deal!
FBI Middleman (and secret kickback specialist) to FBI Brass: I've got a hack for that iPhone, it's yours for $1.2M. FBI Brass to FBI Middleman: It's a deal!
FBI Agents: Yay, kickbacks! --- Of course they can't release the exact amount paid, it would certainly get back to someone who would cause trouble.
