TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data
wk633 writes "A report by Homeland Security Department Acting Inspector General Richard Skinner, said the agency misinformed individuals, the press and Congress in 2003 and 2004. It stopped short of saying TSA lied.
Bruce Schneier does say 'the TSA lied' on his blog." Scary stuff, and yet it's even scarier how little the general public has caught on.
FIRST POST! HEINLEIN RULES!
I've never met him. Never even heard of him. And really...if someone lies, is this really newsworthy?
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
YES - you are my master. Dominate me, and I will fist myself!
Obviously, moderators cannot recognize sarcasm when they see it..
/You/ are a troll of the highest order. Might I remind you that "daveschroeder" is the account from which you thrust the most worthless tripe ever seen on Slashdot?
You are the one that posts questions of which are nothing but trollfood. I figured since you are such a baiter you would need some trolling back.
You're welcome.

I'm rich beeotch...
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a G5 Dual 2.5Ghz Machine w/ 1 GIG of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Safari will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even SimpleText is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 2.5 Ghz Dual machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
Please show me one instance of this administration lying to congress. Keep in mind that for them to lie they need to know they're saying something which is in fact false.
Deniable plausibility is why the GOP is trying to prolong Terri Schiavo's life. She is going to head the GOP's 2008 Schiavo/Cheney presidential ticket.
