They undermine American security by diluting their intelligence efforts to the point they can't achieve anything and they have a multi-national conspiracy to subvert the law of the land. I am not a lawyer but that could be construed as meeting the requirements of treason under US law.
The Paris attacks are no big deal. More Parisians die in auto accidents per day than from Terrorism per month. The terrorists pose no threat to France.
If they checked for duplicates, it would prevent illegal immigrants from re-using a stolen number in order to work in the USA. Checking for duplicate use seems like an easy way to prevent illegal immigration, certainly cheaper than a three thousand mile fence. I suspect that government has taken steps to prevent such checking, in order to lower the cost of doing business (for corporations) in the USA.
We don't give them the keys, we give them the decoded data. Otherwise they can decode everything instead of just what is on the warrant. Option B is we have end to end encryption where the ISP doesn't have the keys.
Encrypting your phone should keep the local police out, but we should assume the feds have arranged back doors for their own use. I'm not sure we can avoid that problem, given they could pay to have the backdoor installed into the chips at the fab. Ex. they make you run your phone through the scanner at airports. Are they looking for drugs or downloading your phone's memory?
The Federal government is trampling on state rights by legislating in areas where they have no constitutionally mandated powers. Legality of drugs is clearly a state right. I think the feds will handle spying behind closed doors, and publicly let the states have their way.
Maybe. If a Euro citizen comes to the US and buys a car, the Euro governments get no taxes. If your servers are in the USA and your terms of service claim all transactions are done in the USA then you can claim the same, they came into US jurisdiction.
The countries affected by "Arab Spring" all had to cut key subsidies to the middle class and poor due to the economic collapse. People lose their "bread and circus", they riot. Politics and wanting a better life were not formative factors.
Groups like the Taliban frequently use hospitals for attacks, as do the groups operating in the Israeli occupied territories. It's entirely possible they targeted the hospital on purpose.
If you have global communications then your remote 3rd world village can have someone take a correspondence course to become a nurses aid or midwife. You can learn ways to increase crop yields, make your house safer, prevent disease, and get access to family planning info.
Having a national program that jump starts American science and technology is a great idea, but you can get the same results at less cost using other types of projects. Organ regeneration, where you make damaged or missing body parts grow back (as opposed to organ transplants from dead bodies) would have huge benefits to all Americans, and massive science/technology spin-off benefits. And the payments from foreigners using the process would pay for it with interest. Terra-forming California would turn the state into a tropical paradise that also could feed the country, and you could sell the tech to rich middle east countries.
Science follows engineering, engineering follows manufacturing. All the major Science countries have high tech manufacturing industries. And the USA is actively wiping out the foundation of their science and technology industries by exporting it to the third world. Those in charge of the USA care a great deal about quarterly profits, and not much at all about the long term supremacy of America.
The small quantities of water and lack of hydrocarbons means the most likely "fuel" would be aluminum atoms as reaction mass for an ion engine powered by a nuclear reactor.
An important rule of being a parent, never lie to your kids. because no matter how stupid and ignorant they are, they will eventually figure out you lied, and then they won't believe anything you say. Apparently this rule also applies to politics.
The problem is they DON'T want a better dialogue on security issues. A better dialogue would include things like limits on spying on law abiding citizens and retention limits on recorded data. What they want is to be ignored.
1-the target of any national security letter or requests for information must be notified after 1 year, no exceptions. Those are emergency powers only. if you're spying on the same person for more than 12 months then get a real warrant. (Even if they just ask for your phone number.) 2-no secret laws. the final step in making a law must be getting openly published. how can you defend yourself, when they can't tell you the details of the law you broke?

A military trial should only be an option if he's a soldier, or captured by the military during a war. Snowden should be given a civilian trial.

Or you could pay Libya and Turkey to block the refugees.

Shootings are so common in the USA that nobody would notice.

We really need an open source open hardware router. Sort of like a raspberry pi but with optimized hardware for routing.
The abuse of antibiotics for fattening up farm animals means we keep creating antibiotic resistant plagues.

You don't understand how this works. The NSA will ask their Euro allies to get the data for them, therefore ensuring continued access.

Electric cars use a cheaper fuel, have higher reliability due to less moving parts, and are cheaper to build (except for the batteries).
Anyone who can afford this can afford to bypass the security lineup.
How long does this patent last, anyway?
