Sorry not a boat but a home made cargo container. Look at the front of the container. It is not a solid piece. It looks like the front can be flipped up. Notice the colour difference just above the bottom edge on the left side.
Using that logic though, by tying up the resources necessary to arrest this guy, a real threat may have slipped by unnoticed (assuming that this guy wasn't a real threat).
1. It stops him from continuing to come up on their radar and cluttering their screen.
2. It discourages others from doing the same thing and cluttering their radar.
A simple arrest is much less resource intensive than dealing with filtering over a long time.
Read the article "But quite clearly if an individual comes down into the area, is engaged in protest activity and is carrying things that could be used as a weapon, that matter's going to be investigated by the police and those items can be removed from that individual in the interests of maintaining a safe environment for everybody."
It was not just the items in the car; he was linked with protest activity. If that guy did use those weapons in a protest after the police found them, security would have be blamed.
If he, and enough other people, did this there would be a lot of resources being tied up running down these "tests". This may allow a real threat to slip in and people be killed because all the resources are tied up. It is along the same line as to why it is illegal to call in a false fire report. The real fire across town burns while the truck is responding to the false call. Sorry but "I was just testing the response time" is not a valid excuse.
My main issue with this, and many other pronouncements by Islamic officials, is that there is little or no public disagreement when something like this comes up. Where are the moderate mullahs saying that extending Islamic laws to the Internet is going to far? In my mind, the silence of the Islamic world over these kinds of stunts is tacit agreement with them.
That is an excellent example of where using jargon is valid. Everyone reading this site is a geek and understand exactly what you said. The NYT audience is not that technologically savvy. Walk into your local bridge club and say the same statement. I bet you would get a lot of blank looks.
Here are the reasons why it is stupid. 1. Would need to be able to withstand multiple wash cycles. Washing machines are very hard on electronics and sensors. 2. Each person would require multiple pairs of underwear as very few people wash cloths every day. 3. Difficult to replace medications. (Take off your pants. I need to add insulin.) 4. Trans dermal meds are generally low dose. If a soldier needs pain meds I doubt that enough could be administered.
A much better idea would be an arm band that is worn under clothing.
Relative velocity between ground and air is irrelevant. Energy is not extracted from that differential.
If you extract the energy to turn the propeller from the ground it will slow down in direct proportion to the energy extracted. The best you can do is use that energy to increase the speed back to the original level.
To increase speed you need to add energy from outside the system. Speed, propeller rotation, speed is a closed system.
consider the two equations F=MA; force = Mass* Acceleration E= MV; Kenetic energy = Mass*Velocity V = The integral of acceleration over time Therefore; A = F/M V = the integral of F/M over time and finally E = M* the integral of F/M over time Restated Kinetic energy is related to the force input into the system
You need to look at physics more. Wind is the same behind the vehicle as it is in front of the vehicle. Remember we are talking about wind coming from behind the vehicle. If a vehicle is going faster than the wind, the relative wind is coming from the front of the vehicle which would slow the vehicle down not speed it up.
Here are a couple of equations for you to chew on.
E =.5 M V^2 equation for kinetic energy
F = MA force equation Aince A = F/M and v = the integral of A dt with some math that is difficult to do in ascii E can be stated in terms of F and M. Therefore the energy of a system is related to the force applied to the system.
The kinetic energy of an object is defined by its speed and mass. The forward kinetic energy is transfered from the vehicle's motion to the rotation of the propeller thereby slowing the vehicle. The rotational kinetic energy of the propeller is transfered to the air and by Newton's third law back into the forward kinetic energy of the vehicle at most getting the vehicle back to speed. Where does the additional energy come from to increase the speed of the vehicle?
Sorry, I was incorrect in my last sentence. I will restate.
Newton's Second Law F=MA. Since the mass is constant to transfer energy the vehicle must slow down. That force can be put back into the system to speed up again but no faster than the original speed.
Where is the additional force coming from to accelerate the vehicle past the original speed?
If the wind is directly behind the vehicle and the vehicle is travelling at exactly the speed of the wind the wind speed relative to the vehicle would be 0. Since it takes power from the forward momentum of the vehicle to turn the propeller that would cause the vehicle to slow down. The propeller would push against the air with a most the same force as supplied by the wheels causing the energy to be put back into the momentum of the vehicle at most bringing the speed back up to the original speed. To accelerate the vehicle would require additional energy from somewhere. At 0 relative wind speed where does that additional energy come from?
In San Antonio you would need a license if you owned the machine. Here are excerpts from the municipal code for San Antonio.
Definition: Food establishment shall mean an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for human consumption:
Food establishment includes: (3) An establishment that offers only prepackaged foods that are not potentially hazardous;
Tires only detonate mines they run over. Even if you are willing to run the tires back and forth a number of time there is no way to be sure that every square inch has been covered.
Explosives detonate mines in the area that they cause overpressure. They also break wire which would stop a small vehicle.
The CMYK system is a subtractive process.; one adds ink to subtract wavelengths reflected from the page. Getting all the way to black is very difficult because one has to absorb every wavelength that strikes the page.
RGB is an additive process; one adds wavelengths to stimulate the cones in the eye. Since there are RGB cones in the eye and RGB emitters on the screen, I find it difficult to believe humans can tell the difference.
I love the slanted quote from the article: "One of the big advantages of their technology, Minesto executives say, is its small size -- 12 meters for the wingspan and one meter for the turbine -- relative to other tidal-energy designs" They neglect the 100' tether and the area inscribed by the kite.
They also neglect to mention that at slack tide the kite must be reeled in and re-launched as there will be no movement to keep the kite off the bottom. This is much more complex that a kite staked to the bottom of the ocean.
On the positive side, I bet the kites would work well in strong ocean currents like the Gulf Stream.
Finally a question;what is the minimum tidal speed that would be required to "fly" these kites and how that compares with tidal speeds around the world?
One of the main reasons that a vehicle restriction is allowed is that there are alternatives; taxi, bus, bicycle, walk etc. What are the alternatives to computers? With a computer ban there is no possibility of any white collar job. Find one where you do not have to at lest read email.
Even finding a job at all would be a problem. The first thing an employment agency does is point one toward a computer and say "Do a job search". How many initial interviews include computer based testing? Many blue collar jobs require one to use a computer for time sheet entry.
By restricting a someone's employment opportunity severely there is only one means of survival; crime. Se we take a paedophile and push him towards a life of further crime. That is not rehabilitation.
Apples to oranges. A vehicle tag is not used to verify identity. A SSN is not visible to the average person. They are completely different. The level of confidentiality is therefore different.

"What ifs" are invalid arguments. They didn't happen.
Here are 3 factors that together justify the action.
1: Proximity: the items were close to a restricted area.
2: Association: The man was associated with a protest movement.
3: Material: The material has been used in the past in protest.
This seems far on the action side of the line.
As for lines; possessing a sharp or heavy object in you house after blogging? No problem. Do the same at a protest? Problem.

It was not just the items in the car; he was linked with protest activity. If that guy did use those weapons in a protest after the police found them, security would have be blamed.
He acts suspicious and gets caught, just as he did.
He convinces the police it was just a "test". They laugh and go away.
He continues and security ignores him as he is just "testing".
He does commit a terrorist attack which get through because the police were ignoring him since that was his objective in the first place.
Would you want to be the head of security to try to explain this?
If he, and enough other people, did this there would be a lot of resources being tied up running down these "tests". This may allow a real threat to slip in and people be killed because all the resources are tied up. It is along the same line as to why it is illegal to call in a false fire report. The real fire across town burns while the truck is responding to the false call. Sorry but "I was just testing the response time" is not a valid excuse.
What's the point of renewing a license at all if all you have to do is click a button or show up?
It is basically to keep track of people who own guns. A renewal says "I still live in your area and I still have guns." This is useful information.

2. See 1
3. "Easily accessible" under tucked in undershirt, tucked in shirt, pants, belt, jacket, armour and equipment belt could be difficult.
