As has been said in other comments elsewhere, using a hidden volume will get around this. This will work especially well if you work in a business where it is believable that security might be an issue.
On the other hand, there was a case of an applicant being refused a job with police because his IQ was too high. It would be interesting to know what the boundries they set for this sort of thing are.
I tjink that he was referring to a universe with different laws of nature, and merely saying that it is possible that with different laws of nature, there are different ways in which life could form. These laws could be only marginally differen, or they could be completely different to the point of being unimaginable to a human.
There may be a problem with the configuration of his system, but one of my friends had facial recognition for login and it let everyone in, if they sat in front of the computer.
I just had to reread that. 20 lanes must be huge. Some of the motorways here in the UK just got upgraded to 4 lanes each way, and they normally cope fine(ish), even in rush hour. How many people use the I-10?
Don't forget the decent public transport in both the UK and France. I can get from Paris to 200m from my front door without leaving a train station, and with only two changes, and it takes under 5 hours. When transport to and from airports is uncluded, this is slightly quicker and much more comfortable.
Here is how Dixy Lee Ray (with Lou Guzzo) described events (Trashing the Planet, page 69) [note: Ray has the timing wrong, the spraying was stopped in 1964, not the late 60s]:
Public health statistics from Sri Lanka testify to the effectiveness of the spraying program. In 1948, before the use of DDT, there were 2.8 million cases of malaria. By 1963, there were only 17. Low levels of infection continued until the late 1960s, when the attacks on DDT in the U.S. convinced officials to suspend spraying. In 1968, there were one million cases of malaria. In 1969, the number reached 2.5 million, back to the pre-DDT levels. Moreover, by 1972, the largely unsubstantiated charges against DDT in the United States had a worldwide effect. In 1970, of two billion people living in malaria regions, 79 percent were protected and the expectation was that malaria would be eradicated. Six years after the United States banned DDT, there were 800 million cases of malaria and 8.2 million deaths per year. Even worse, because eradication programs were halted at a critical time, resistant malaria is now widespread and travelers could take it home.

Didn't Bioware have a hand in neverwinter nights 2 (and probably 1, I'm not sure) which had some of the best dialog I've ever seen in a game.
