Now now... Larry Ellison does happen to own an island in Hawaii, and I do think there was some discussion of him buying airlines that fly to Hawaiian islands... I'm still waiting for the skull shaped lair, er, mansion.
After all, car makers selling cars in the United States typically will build all of their models to meet California emissions standards, even if they are more strict than the rest of the country. Seems like a similar case.
Are you calling security theater and keeping the larger set of sheep from panicking and not flying impractical? We could fake it, but as you well know, any "fake" theater would be found out and backfire. Gotta make it look good. Anywho, all that radiation should be good for something, I probably need to tag the post with "and we welcome our new spidey-sensing overlords!"
Yes, but if the difference is more than an order of magnitude, and I suspect it may well be, then arguing that you are avoiding flying because of the radiation of the security checkpoint is just plain silly.
Better to start some low altitude zeppelin service, remembering to use helium.
OK, so all you need is an identical twin gullible enough to drink water given to him by you during a trip you bought for him in NYC.... then you go and assassinate the president after having given your twin Washington DC water to drink while you guzzle NYC water at the scene of the crime. Do a quick getaway and finger your twin.
The jury will convict in a new york minute.
You know, a working fission reactor has been done already... I think it's called the "sun". I believe the process goes something like this:
1) Place order for at least 2.0E30 Kg of Hydrogen
2) Wait for UPS/Fedex to deliver to your house
3) Wait for gravity to pull all of this Hydrogen together.....
4) Profit!
Why, when I was a young man, our competitor would buy us out and the european union would step in and block the sale, causing mass layoffs and gutting the company beforehand.
We could aim it at the Moon and then the moon will move out of it's orbit. The moon and moonbase alpha would then wander aimlessly through various plotlines and eventually be canceled.
My favorite thing to hear on Fox was a discussion going on to do with the state of the economy, and how "we are only now seeing the full effects of the Clinton presidency". I about fell out of my chair.
It's been pointed out that Clinton was the one who relaxed the regulation around banking that in part lead to the bad loans, etc....
Presidents usually don't have that much to do with the state of the economy, but they can certainly use it to get elected, as has been demonstrated here and previously.
amen. The error message seems to be designed for people who know about these things, not mom and pop users.
My next door neighbor came to me last week as her computer was failing to log on to yahoo mail, etc. with these weird errors (expired certificates).
When I looked closely, I figured out that her real time clock battery had failed and when she power cycled her computer every time it would come up with a default date prior to 2000, and since the certificates were only valid from 2003 on or similar, they would fail. She was absolutely positively unable to figure that one out... I know my stuff, and it still took me 5 minutes of looking at certificates before I eureka'ed.
It's the first instance I know of that you really need to have your clock set right to have your browser work correctly.
Hmm... as I read it, the Chinese are being sticklers for the rules, and quoted that the official method for age verification by the IOC is by passport, and this gymnast has a valid Chinese passport showing an age that allows her to compete. They're demanding that the rules be followed to the letter.
I'm not sure it says anywhere in the IOC rules that the government needs to validate their passport birthdates.
It's not that they don't care about the rules, but that they want the official rules properly enforced. They just don't care about reality.
After all, any country is safer if nobody wants to go and visit it anymore.
Of course.... at that point, the only people entering the country will be terrorists, and the terror problem will be solved!
Hmmm... maybe I should rework that.
1. Introduce warrantless searches
2. Eliminate desire for visitors to enter the US.
3. Kill all remaining visitors as terrorists.
4. ???
5. Profit!
No wait... that doesn't work.

Actually, you probably absorb more radiation from the altitude of the flight than any checkpoints.

Oh sure, and 99% of people who died of cancer wore underwear.
You were lucky.
We used to dream of paper plates.

However, "firebananaslug" might be apropos due to current events in the dry Santa Cruz mountains
It's like they actually *planned* this.
