Paypal Charged Under PATRIOT Act

A reader writes: "Yahoo has the story: Paypal has been charged under the PATRIOT act for accepting and profiting from transactions with illegal gambling sites. According to their new rules they will no longer allow gambling payments due to the higher chargeback risk. It's good to see them charged for something, even if they have never had to atone for the thousands of customer dollars they have stolen." I know of a number people who've had problems, but I will say that I've had no problems with PayPal - on both my personal account and on the Subscription side of things.

Not that I support the patriot act...

You might want to read up a little on the success rate. Here it says in Desert Storm they had a 70% success in Saudi Arabia and 40% in Isreal.

Here the us army seems to think that the new version seems to work. They also seem to think it works well here too.

The patriot missile is not some pie in the sky dream. It does work. It may not necessarily be 100%, but 40-70% is better and 0%.

I don't know the tech that goes into something like this for sure, but I'd imagine that it could also be used for something like meteors.
