    To be fair though. The watch had wires and switches connected.
    Not exactly art. Also I am pretty sure if I had that watch I would have talked to people about it ahead of time.
    If you do not know by now that the GED holding "Security Professionals" of the TSA would freak the fuck out over this then you are too stupid to be free.

    By default facts are true and everything else is suspect.
    The You stated that Bitcoins (the untraceable currency) are used mostly by criminals.
    It was pointed our to you that you have no facts to assert and are just making an unsupported statement.
    You responded by linking to an article about what the FBI fears will/might happen.
    You still have no facts. What percentage of Bitcoins are used for money laundering?
    What percentage of US dollars are used for the same?
    The truth is there are people who can just print US dollars when ever they want. Bitcoins No.
    US dollars are easily counterfeited. Bitcoins not so much.

    Get some facts. Then get some understanding. After that comment please. We would love to hear you informed comments on the subject.
    Otherwise STFU.

    How much more fuel do I have to burn off before my weight is within limits for landing?

    This is why Military, Commercial and General aviation use weight.

    Children live up to and down to the expectations that they feel.

    This does not much to Whites, is going to be great for Asians and is going to be the downfall of Latinos and Blacks.
    On the bright side the children of the parents who are always trying to get their kids "Diagnosed" will be the worst of the bunch.
