So, does this mean that all those online sales and auction patents are now going to be re-evaluated, you know, since sales and auctions have existed for at least a few years before the internet was around?
Whether it is right or wring is irrelevant. The third of a second that it takes you to pull out your firearm will most likely end up with you sporting a bullet hole in your chest.
I am waiting for Comcast, Verizon, et al to start broadcasting their policies in rap form so that they can claim it was all for entertainment and not indicative of any service being offered.
COMCAST, is in da house! COMCAST, is in your house! COMCAST, you can't kick us out! COMCAST, will make you scream and shout!
Need we remind people that when ESPN was created, the "E" in "ESPN" stood for "Entertainment?" (later they dropped the "Entertainment and Sports Programming Network" name in favor of simply "ESPN")
So let's get this straight. If I pass around a sexually explicit photo at my job, I will get fired for sexual harassment, and creating a hostile work environment. But if I worked for the NSA.. .then all is well, right? Where do I sign up for this job?
For heaven's sake, I cannot believe that we are missing the real story here.
Two, yes TWO persons were allowed to board an aircraft without proper TSA screening! Why aren't we concerned about that, I mean if it's such a big issue.. .oh wait.

They wanted you to power up your electronics to show that they still worked and that you had not replaced a component with some sort of incendiary device,
I would not read too much into that, it is fairly common to "re-allocate" blame for having to say no to an offer (that is, to make it look like you were told no, even if you did not actually approach the "rules folks").
Not saying that is what happened here (I have no evidence either way), but I have seen similar tactics used repeatedly in business to save face, without breaking the rules.
I would love to have one of these, and set it up so that when I left my work place building, one followed me. It would make my coworkers extremely paranoid ot hang around me.
This is true. A former boss was in China as the country CIO over there and even though bribery is the de facto way of doing business, it is still against the US law. The US cracked down on several US based comapnies that were doing this, and my ex-boss was fired and told to leave China within 48 hours. He did, but the company that fired him re-hired him after a few years, I suspect a late thanks for taking the heat for violating a corporate policy that is the way things are done in China.
