Postcard From Pyongyang: The Airport Now Has Wi-Fi, Sort of (apnews.com)
Eric Talmadge, writing for AP: North Korea is one of the least Wi-Fi-friendly countries in the world. Having a device that emits Wi-Fi signals can result in detention and a major fine. Worse, if you are a North Korean. Public use of the internet is a concept that just makes North Korean officials really nervous. But here's a sign that might be changing. North Korea's main internet provider appears to have put up a Wi-Fi trial balloon at the international departure area of Pyongyang's airport. It's a logical place to start. The service is only available, or even visible, to travelers who have already cleared customs, which included me last week. The reporter was unable to actually get the Wi-Fi to work, however.
One last chance to hack foreigners' devices on their way out of the country, when they're burned out, less attentive, anxious to connect to the outside world, and jumping right into checking email and other communications. Gee, I wonder why they'd try this.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Damn right. My grandpa died in a concentration camp.
He was drunk and fell off a watchtower, but still.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
