It is likely that many airline managers have no knowledge of technology, but like to make decisions anyway.

Also, managers are dominant. They hire low-pay employees and don't train them so that they can make more money. Yesterday's Delta story: Delta Air Lines employees mistake New Mexico for Mexico (Aug 11, 2016)

Yes, but where is that money going?

Winston Brooks, superintendent for Albuquerque Public Schools, makes $250k a year as of 2013. APS teachers averaged closer to $43k last year. According to CNN Money the poverty rate (lowest 15% of income) in 2013 was on the order of $51k nationwide.

Um, according to the article you cited, $51K was the median household income in the US in 2013, not the poverty line. FTA: "Those making $23,492 a year for a family of four, or $11,720 for an individual were considered to be living in poverty."

Granted there are some areas that bring up that average, such as Washington DC, New York and California. You can look into the salaries for teachers and assorted staff, but it still doesn't seem to add up to the overall funding line. Money gets tied up into standardized tests and the bureaucracy in managing them. Similarly to large corporations, education systems can (and sometimes do) get top-heavy with assorted C-level personnel that demand an unexplainably high salary for being little more than stamp jockeys.

“While billed as an anti-terror tool, (a sneak-and-peek warrant) had no requirements on it that it precluded it from being used in standard criminal investigations,”
"According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s figures, the majority of the warrants are for drug cases."
Expect some very creative use of the term "terrorism and intellgence" over time even if they have a terrorism and intellgence clause.
Cloud data was always fair game to the NSA in bulk outside the USA and internally with a warrant/national security letters.
You have new delay period options in "blocks" of 90 days, Section 7 covers "voluntarily disclose content that is pertinent to addressing a cyberattack" - ie your telco reports you.

Actually, no. We've had a lot of bears coming down from the mountains. They had to trank and pick up 4 bears last weekend, all within 3 miles of our house. Now, they say it's because of poor food supplies up in the mountains but obviously, I put the rune on my amulet on backwards. D'oh!

      You betcha ... once it comes down to an exact tie on votes Gov Richardson can oversee the Attorney General as he deals cards in a winner take all 5 card stud hand.

      McCain will probably lose after he looks at his AKQJT and Obama's 666J2 and say rats I only have an Ace high.

20 years for a laser pointer? Here in the Old West, a guy allegedly shot down a police helicopter because it was disturbing his dog, but he was released because of "ballistics issues" with the evidence.
