I would need some serious proof of that. I find that completely unbelievable. Not from the "they would do that" perspective, but from the "they are competent enough to ACTUALLY do that" perspective. I mean our government is rather inept at handling construction contracts. You are telling me they formed a contract, hired a crew, and got materials/people all on site within 24 hours?
They still very much push Certs DannyB. Want to be a Database admin? better have some type of cert. Want to be any type of network engineer? The Cisco systems cert/training is all but mandated by all(and that training/cert is about $10k base line) Hell the base line entry level tech job at my place requires a bachelors degree OR an associates with A+ or other certs. Maybe some of the BS certs have been pushed aside, but just go browse a few job listing cites and you will see them asking for all sorts of different certs still.
I am not really sure what the word "liberal" really has to do with a news organization getting the details of a story wrong in that manner. Unless you are stating it is their agenda to skew said details, which you would be hard pressed to prove in this instance.
Not to mention you straight up can't read.

Maybe your conservative eyes need better conservative glasses. That or your conservative glasses are working just fine making enemies where there aren't any.
isn't stuff like this exactly what Libertarians say WOULDN'T happen in a pure and free economy? If we didn't have any centralized group controlling things, problems like this would be even more wide spread with maybe little chance of catching them. People are greedy assholes who will suck at the overly large teet of the government. Because they can get away with it. I still stand by the statement that the inherent size of "our" government isn't inherently the problem. The problem comes from the complete lack of accountability at basically every level. Act like this is a big news story(which is very well should be) but in a week this will be replaced with Biber getting prole, the next Zimmerman, or the Super Bowl. There is no accountability because we the people as a whole don't ask for it. That is the biggest shame of them all.
The GOP has been on SO many "wrong sides" of major political issues from the public side recently that I am almost shocked they are not here as well. Maybe this is the starting point for them actually listening to actual citizens for once...
The NSA has practically reached the Tyson zone. No matter what ridiculous story you hear about their spying efforts, you are by default inclined to believe it instead of asking for proof anymore.
I'll never understand what makes some people and organizations freak out when users of their systems make better versions.
loss of control. I work for government agency. I see stuff like that. People can't directly gain "control" over others like they can in private industry, so they use other methods to. This is just one of many.
You can point to the NYPD as out of their mind on. But at least with this you can't blame them for trying. I mean the FBI is just too busy these days drumming up fake terrorist plots to get more funding to actually share real intel with local agencies.
The more and more this becomes common, the more and more people will use dummy password to decrypt into dummy drives with nothing on them. Hell my one college friend already has a dual boot laptop because his boss is worried their "trade secrets" will be seen by eyes that shouldn't. If you boot the computer normally it just launches just like expected. But if you go into boot devices you can boot onto a "hidden" partition on the drive with a dongle he has inserted into the computer. To the average government lackey or border patrol guy, they would never even remotely suspect an issue.
Even forgoing that, internet speeds are so fast now you could keep most of your important documents encrypted on a server and just move them around as you need.
I see plenty of resistance to then turning the clock back. Not only does it potentially keep "trouble" kids out of class(and out of their hair) but it also absolves them of personal responsibility. Every time some ridiculous punishment happens, they can use the ZTPs as a shield against criticism. "What do you mean that punishment was ridiculous? That is the school policy and if you have a problem go talk to the scapegoat!" If people in power love anything more than power it is the ability to blame all their woes on somebody else.
I have personal anecdotes of Union rules directly keeping bad actors on the job for the City. Maybe the union itself didn't directly fight for them, but the rules they set up make it a very long process to get rid of somebody short of them committing a felony on the job. And from everything I have ever read, the City unions are hardly unique in that respect.
As for directly fighting for bad actors, we were told afew years ago a local PD wanted to institute officer GPS tracking in each car for their CAD(dispatch) system. Both as a officer safety issue and mostly to help guide the closest car to the right point. The union fought against this as a "privacy" issue, and it was never implemented. Maybe not exactly what you are talking about, but it definitely helped protect bad actors.
The problem with ME3 wasn't that the gameplay was bad, it was that the game not only didn't live up to the promise of the first game(YOUR CHOICES MATTER!!!!!!) but it outright spit in player's faces over that fact. The most obvious answer is the Rachnii mission. Remember in ME1 where you ran into the last rachni Queen in existence because the Krogan had killed them all? Well if you let the queen live they come back in control of the reapers? Well guess what, if you kill the queen the reapers dig up another random rachni queen and you have to fight them anyway! That, combined with the "push button get ending" is the real reason ME3 was garbage. It isn't the fact it didn't live up to its own promise, its that it outright obviously didn't even try.
except that is a massive amount of data. Also a large amount of it that you wouldn't want to either "go missing" or to get corrupted. And for a large PD like we have, we have 6 different buildings across the city where patrol men go out of. We are not some rinky dink local PD. Which means either building extra servers at EVERY location to store that large data, or stress the network to push all that data out to our main tech house. And as mentioned we are a large department, so the network is already being constantly used by reports and other evidence files being passed back and forth for investigators or others. The solution is not as straight forward or easy as some people jump to.
Not to even mention that our MVRs are already almost 10 years old and need to be replaced first. Which we need to upgrade server infrastructure for. ect ect.
Uhhhhhhhhhh it is, and has been, INCREDIBLY easy to pirate movies and TV shows since the early 2000s. Even a moderate DSL line can download a 700 SD rip of a movie in a night. Comparing fat cats loosing money to literally violently raping a women in offensive in so many ways. And as the comment just above yours mentioned, if "easy to piracy" was truly a huge problem, they wouldn't be posting record years over and over again.
Every generation has their own moral panic about something or other. They completely forget the lessons learned while they were young, well because they were young!
