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."
Except now we are at war with al Qaeda again, erm, I mean "We have always been at war with al Qaeda!"
Odd, I'd swear we went to war with them after they KILLED 3000 CIVILIANS. It was almost 2 years ago, around September 11th or so.
I've yet to hear a government official of any kind claim that 'we've always been at war with Al Qaeda'. Iraq, on the other hand, ever since.. wait for it.. they invaded Kuwait.
See, in 1984, the government lied to its people about the past, and went so far as to remove evidence of the real past. Anyone can pick up a history book/surf the web/watch TV and learn what I've just said.
Slight difference. And yes, I've read the book, about a dozen times now.
Endless arguments over trivial contradictions in books written by ignorant savages to explain thunder in the dark.
You're forgetting that Homeland Security advises AGAINST using Microsoft products.
"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our Homeland."
