No? Actively screwing US citizens into monopolistic and crappy broadband by doing the exact opposite people want is not that kind of terrorism considering how pervasive the internet is to our daily lives? Really?
It's been 5 years since I dropped cable and *ominous drums* it doesn't make any difference at all. Except if you count the amount of money saved (about $3500).
Of course I don't have access to some programming if I don't pirate it because there are no other alternatives but with time I started to care less and less about what I was missing to the point I don't even bother to pirate anymore. I'm hardly alone here.
So it's worse than simple monetary losses to the cable companies and channels. It's about going into irrelevance which in the long term is worse than losing some money by going stream.

And they will keep ignoring the law and their supposed bosses as long as nobody is severely punished (jailed until the demands are met). If one steals and gets away even if everybody knows he/she stole something what's going to prevent them from repeating it forever? Nothing.
The MAFIAA strikes again. I wonder if they offered money in any way or just threatened key persons in the Govt with something (personal or not like OMG JOBS!).
Not to mention Google at the very least issued a mea culpa. The other two tired to spin things as awesome and positive or simply pretended it didn't exist when caught with pants down. Having ads beside extremist content will be the least problematic issue in companies that are ok in destroying your privacy with stealth super cookies, browsing habits recording and selling, all without any way to opt-out.
If even a huge company like Google is having trouble to enter the market then something is clearly wrong. Of course, the citizens 'representatives' (take the word with a gigantic grain of salt) are being paid to ignore the elephant in the room.
Nope, it's paid for convenience and the authors get something. But yes, big virtual libraries should be the norm. Of course you can always use the largest open library in the world: piracy.
Virtual library with a curation system (flattr style). That's what we need.
Or, in the absence, a very cheap all-you-can eat service. Amazon has something like that but it's not very rich in book availability and not cheap enough (at least here).
The real question is: what immediate threat to the flight an electronic device content may pose? One that immediately comes to mind is the 'terrorist' using it to activate a bomb in the cargo hold. There are two ways to prevent that. Either you make the cargo hold a Faraday Cage or you screen the bags properly. And bags don't get cancer and stuff so you can xray or whatever the hell out of them.

It's different. A good forensic exam will show the volume is there. I think what he meant is something like a panic button in form of a password. You type it and the volume will display fake data somehow, trick/fool the one that entered the fake password. I'm not sure how this would be feasible though. Maybe 'decrypt' the volume but pretend the file system is damaged beyond repair?
