  on TSA Security Checks Begin Long Before Travelers Arrive At The Airport
  ...well not quite 100% free of molestation. You still have the opportunity to "interact" with these dedicated civil servants if you are within 100 miles of any US border, and in some cities where they "protect" mass transit. Oh! Please do not forget the NYPD and other police forces that have chosen to "SWAT" up with federal anti terrorism dollars. I am Canadian and find any travel to or within the US has become "unfriendly" to guests. So yes, the terrorists have won easily.

  on FEMA Grounds Private Drones That Were Helping To Map Boulder Floods, Threatens To Arrest Operators
  FEMA should work with them then. Not threaten them. FEMA is wrong in their arrogance.

  Insider Threat Program defeat?

  on NY Times Reveals NSA Searches All Emails In & Out Of The US; Will It Offer Up Its Source For Prosecution?
  "according to a senior intelligence official."
  
  Most interesting is the above "source". Seems to make a timely mockery of Obama's "See Something, Say Something" program.

  John Steele reportedly only uploads porn... You would have to confirm that with the NSA though.

  Re: OHHH CANADA

  on Dueling Amendments To Cut NSA Surveillance Funding; But One Is A Red Herring To Trick Congress
  I am surprised that you seem not to believe that Canada has been a big "partner" of the NSA mass surveillance blitz. I will be money that Vic Towes and his boss, our Prime Minister, Steven harper (SIC) have already sold our privacy sovereignty to the NSA. (Take a look at the location of the undersea cables heading over to Europe if you have any doubts) I patiently await additional details of the unlubricated NSA penetration of all Canadians. BTW, most of our data resides on US based servers anyway.

  Maybe someone should fly over the KTVU station, take pictures and then post them online...

  on FISA Order To Verizon Expires Today, No One Wants To Say If It's Being Renewed
  If the FISA order is not renewed how would Verizon replace the significant revenue stream they receive for being a "partner" in all of this?

  The included URL must be copied and pasted for it to work. Seems the URL parser does not like the open parentheses.

  Any Crime, One Punishment

  on Overcriminalization: Congressional Research Service Doesn't Have The Manpower To List All Federal Crimes
  It is interesting how "fiction" eventually becomes closer to our reality. In 1987, an episode of Star Trek (TNG) had a storyline of a planet where all infractions of the established laws were punishable by death.

  MS in Damage Control?

  on Microsoft Fires Off Rebuttal To Latest Leak; Angry Letter To Eric Holder
  I am unsure that Microsoft has any moral ground to stand on here if the reports are true that they have been feeding Zero Day exploits to the NSA (and others).

  "every phone call made by everyone"

  on It's Not Whether NSA Surveillance Helped Stop Any Plots, But Whether Or Not It Needed To Spy On Everyone To Do So
  One has to wonder back to the story of the US government asking their operatives to get personal info on all foreign diplomats (including cell phone numbers). The recent news that the UK government spied on foreign diplomat's cell phone calls it begs the question....

  Car Dealers Missing the Point

  on Oh No! Car Dealers Might Have To Deal With Informed Customers! That Must Be Illegal!
  For Honda to complain about an informed consumer is absolutely short sited. Honda gets their fixed base price on every sale and that is not negotiable for the dealer or the customer. The greatest profit a car dealer will make beyond the initial sale is on service. Corporations need to change their business models to be more customer centric or they will fail.
