Very true. Many big business republicans see themselves as Christians, but as I've pointed out to some in the past, a true Christian would not charge interest. The Bible says it's a sin to charge interest at all, not just "excessive" interest.
Except that doesn't work. You blow yourself up, and you might injure the people next to you and startle the rest of the passengers, but that's about it. This guy tried it. But don't worry, they're looking into body cavity scanning technology, too! Now we can be safe from getting splattered by bomber bits.
From your own link:
Later reports indicated that according to forensics, the explosives had been sewn into his underwear.
Apparently he didn't use enough, and didn't wrap it in shrapnel.
Don't sit next to the fat guy, he could have a nuke in his belly.
Any country with 300 million people and nearly 4 million square miles is going to take a large organization to run it.
Not THAT large. Look up the percentages. What percentage of US citizens are employed by the government? What percentage of GDP is spent by the government? China does a heck of a lot better in that regard.
None of the above precautions will detect a non-metallic surgically implanted explosive device. This means they'll soon be advocating a complete CAT scan for every passenger.
I like the mention of putting memory and such in a dock. So you have 8GB RAM in your laptop on the go, but when you get home or to the office and dock you have 32GB. You could also have your hot and power hungry CAD / gaming GPU in the dock and a lesser on built in.
But they don't actually have anything, it's just an arrangement of ones and zeros. If that counts, then holding the image in your mind would also count. Sure, at this point in time the image in your mind is not as easily transferred, but that will not always be the case.

Now that's an expensive escort service...
"Sex is only a big deal if you're not getting any."
Interesting idea. IIRC eBay already has an anti-snipe option to delay the close to X minutes past the last bid.
It won't kill us, it will buy our debts and subvert us into slavery...

hmm, motherboard interconnect, NUMA for the home.
Or if it's modular, NUMA-NUMA.
I'm suggesting that if a country the size of China can get by with a smaller government than ours, then the size argument is irrelevant.
The answer is simple: Don't buy mission critical components from China.
The stock market is integral to the retirement plans of almost everyone...
Just goes to show, most people are gullible. How many of those people would have been better off investing in their mattress?

I'd like to see passengers issued a sidearm on boarding, training class as a prerequisite.
Hahaha! Ooh, you thought the constitution still mattered! That's a good one!

No, I will NOT take off my lead underpants.
I'm sure the senate and their families fly the friendly skies; all it would take is a little hacking and they might start to think twice.
No, raspberries. Pbbbtht!
But without a nest of cables you can't do Serial Experiments Lain!

Could be effective to get people over the "It could never happen here / now" mentality.
Parent should be modded up, not zero. Quite relevant and informative. I've had similar experiences.
No. C grade lawyers work for the government, B grade lawyers work for ideological organisations, and A grade lawyers work for criminals.
You just contradicted yourself. The government ARE the criminals.

Do that a few more times and they have an orbital area denial system.
Can you make a Lithium-Ytterbium battery?
