Trickling the information out has seemed to desensitize the general population. People that think this all is BS, think so even more after each leak. People on the fence or indifferent, seems to have the effect of slowly boiling a frog vs tossing it in.
I have zero faith in the US justice system. From police officers only pursuing people they don't like, via officer discretion, all the way to judges who heavily favor women in custody / divorce, to women teachers getting slapped on the wrist for having sex with underage kids, to high profile cases that are a mockery of justice (OJ, Casie Anthony, Trayvon). Doesn't seem to matter what you did, only matters how people feel about you.
Or how someone can ride a bicycle 2 wide on public roads, but I can't drive my ATV (even if legally registered and insured).
Bicycles: - 99% don't follow any traffic laws (ie going through a stop sign at full speed) - Don't pay a gas tax - Aren't registered to be on the road - Aren't inspected for safety (cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles all have to be in my state) - Don't carry insurance - Can't keep up with the flow of traffic, and IMO are extremely unsafe (2 lane road most people pass bicycles when unsafe, coming into my lane and seemingly play chicken where it looks like a headon is about to happen)
Yet ATVs are banned. Its all about who uses such vehicles. In my state, its lawyers, doctors, etc the uppidity crowd that bicycles and the poorer folks that ATV. They even shut main roads down for bicycle races, using police and other public resources for their entertainment. Can anyone imagine police closing off public roads for an ATV race?
I love the spin on RFRA. First it was sponsored by Chuck Schumer. Then it passed unanimously in the house with a voice vote. Then it passed 97-3 in the senate. Then it was signed by Bill Clinton... But somehow its a right wing bill.
How much the media spins things for the Democrats is incredible.
I dealt with this. Plead no contest to driving without insurance because I didn't have it on me at the time and couldn't make the court date (had a mfg job, it was 2009 and 1/3rd of the company was laid off that month). I asked if I could swing by the police station later and show my insurance, he said said no- bring it to court. So plead no contest ($149 fine, cheaper than losing my job I thought). Was put on SR22 insurance and 4 years later during a 2 week thanksgiving vacation I let my insurance lapse for a few days as I wasn't driving and knew it, figured I'd save a couple of dollars by renewing on Sunday when I started driving again. Never drove once without insurance but I received a license suspension notice in the mail a few days earlier. Had to submit several forms and pay fees despite never doing anything wrong.
Govt's watch you like a hawk and come down with great swiftness if you hiccup in the slightest.
Sounds like we need more background checks and security measures to ensure bad people don't become pilots. That's what the anti-gun folks do to approach to mass murders.
As a 2nd amendment supporter, all I hear is how we need more background checks and more training. Now you're telling me someone vetted as much as an airline copilot isn't trustworthy? What does that say about the vetting process?
Seriously, what are they doing in the cockpit that needs privacy? Privacy is for when you're retiring for the night with your spouse, not flying an airline full of people.
Can't wait to go board a plane where the pilots do god knows what up front that needs privacy. Very reassuring.
True, every instant looking at the speedometer is time not looking at the road. Speed limits should be eliminated. If someone can't determine a safe speed to drive at, they shouldn't be driving.
When I see a cop has someone pulled over on a 2 lane road, cars coming into my lane to pass the hazard (which is illegal) is more dangerous than whatever speed the driver was pulled over for. Heck IMO bicycles on a public road is far more dangerous than speeding. I don't know how many times I felt like a car was playing chicken with me, coming at me headon in my lane to pass a bicycle. Yet riding a bicycle on the road is legal.
Obama got 95% of the black vote in 08. If you show me a stat showing 95% of hillbillies voted Republican, I will print out this slashdot page and eat it.
Every flight controller I'm aware of requires either a radio frequency connection to a RC controller, or GPS.
Both can be messed with. By building a drone myself, radio interference is a huge issue. A directed 1575mhz signal towards the drone would certainly interfere with its lock on the GPS satellites (my Ublox M8n gets disrupted just from other electronics on the vehicle!). And to knock out flight control, just emit something around 433 mhz, or 2.4ghz towards the craft and that should take it out. Granted emitting a powerful signal in those frequencies will have collateral effects, but with a drone endangering the white house, I'm sure that doesn't matter.

So what good are the police then?
On one hand, the govt won't save you. On the other, it restricts the 2nd amendment.

The govt favors some and craps on others.

So to you this couldn't have been anything but a perfect audit and if there was something, there was a 100% chance it would have been caught.
Naive, or NSA op
The shellshock bug went on for a long time with many eyes on the code. How do we know the auditors weren't outmatched and just missed the backdoor?

They are saying its not terrorism because if this was terrorism, they should have know in advance of this given that's what they exist for.
Can't let people know they never succeed at their primary objective. Or do anything but support illegal parallel construction.
Power mongers will use any opportunity.
Its much easier to say "there isn't enough training," than to say "our people exhibited gross incompetence."
Or watch Air Crash Investigation: "Unlocking Disaster"
Tells all about how the NTSB results were fraudulent to appease Boeing and airline profits.
Can't even believe the NTSB investigation. See United Airlines flight 811. NTSB is in bed with the airlines, putting profit above safety.
Sounds like we need more background checks and security measures to ensure bad people don't become pilots. That's what the anti-gun folks do to approach to mass murders.
Silkair 185. We would be able to know for sure if the pilot intentionally flew the plane into the ground.
MH370. If sent via satellite, we would see what happened in the minutes after they went off radar.
You really can't fathom how video would help? Really?
Privacy is in the bedroom, not in the cockpit.
As a 2nd amendment supporter, all I hear is how we need more background checks and more training. Now you're telling me someone vetted as much as an airline copilot isn't trustworthy? What does that say about the vetting process?
How is who murdered 150+ people irrelevant?

How far does a car travel in a fraction of a second? Quite far depending on speed.
You sound like a dangerous driver, with wandering attention. How many accidents have you been in?

My gut tells me you are making this up out of thin air.

Everclear is illegal in many states. Illegal in my state and both neighboring states.
