Products Seek Antiterrorism Certification
Makarand writes "According to ABCNews/Forbes, businesses with antiterrorism products for which they are unable to find insurers to provide
liability coverage are lining up to
seek the Homeland Security Department's
seal of approval. Products certified as antiterrorism products enjoy some protection
from liability suits and an official 'seal of approval', making them easier to sell. The Department has started
accepting applications for certification, many likely to come from technology companies such as Qualcomm, Unisys, and others, starting Sept. 1."
Could I get certification for my gun? Nothing stops a terrorist faster, and not having to worry about all those pesky liabilities sure would put my trigger finger at ease.
What would be the standards used for this certification?
:-)
Did the check clear?
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
Microsoft needs to apply for a pro-terrorism certification. "This product meets or exceeds terrorist requirements for simple security loopholes: buffer overflows, insecure defaults, and more".
I for one would like to see Slashdot get certified as an anti-terrorist product.
Any 'pro-terrorist' website would be rendered useless after an article posting on the front page.
Heheh... just imagine "Counterstrike: Condition Zero" with "Department of Homeland Security Approved!" on the box... Hahah...
What is a Haz Mat Suit? When do I need one?
We highly recommend the H.E.V. hazardous environment suit with optional jump module.
Will help you escape exploding buildings in case of attack by alien terrorists from the planet Xen.
A must have for every research scientist working in an anomalous materials lab!
Yes, I imagine that any sufficiently advanced civilization is indistinguishable from an insane asylum.
