The TSA has very little to do with the economic situation of the USA. If you say that the almost unnecessary TSA is helping by employing folks, then 1.) I would remind you that every TSA employee increases the tax burden of the average US citizen & 2.) that would be a great example of the Broken Window Fallacy.
You act like we can only take care *one thing at a time* which is so silly it almost doesn't warrant comment. There are ~230 million adults in the USA & I'd hope we weren't so ADD that we can concentrate on more than one issue at a time. Of course, all we can really do is vote, write & rally. Hopefully our next group of leaders will be a little more responsible than those of the last 30 years or so, but I seriously doubt it. They will keep selling us out to foreign powers, keep eroding our civil liberties & keep sucking at the teats of multinational corporations.
Not that it matters anymore, but I just wrote both of my senators explaining to them how this will be used as a club to quash free speech. Shame they both get so much money from Disney.
So let's just throw our civil liberties to the wind so we can catch up to China? Your Red Herring is easily one of the stupidest things I've ever read on Slashdot. There must be an achievement for that or something.
You sound like you are around my age with your cultural references & I assure you, the rest of us were having fun too, we just tended to keep our mouths shut about it.
It sucks & they are obviously doing it on purpose. It doesn't really affect me however, as I only buy their games after they've hit the halfway mark on there release price. By then the game is generally stable.
Same goes for any other worker who might be fired for photos online. "That is me but I was never drinking, or smoking weed. It's a fake." Innocent until proven guilty.
That won't work with private employers in right-to-work states.

You're wrong & there has already been a Supreme Court case regarding it. Re: Reid v. Covert, October 1956.
Stop spouting this nonsense.
Treaties modify the US Constitution.
Is this one of those lies that become true if you say it often enough?
Stupid pedant.
You *really* cannot compare prison guards with a police force. Just not the same. Blackwater on the other hand......

What I do every four years, vote for a non-Republicrat party. Hasn't seemed to help much however.
Canadian citizens, ultimately.
Everyone else will fall in line.
And the lines to the other colleges in Georgia will be quite long.
Yeah, & what is the backlash to the college for basically banning all MMORPGs & Starcraft II?
I'll tell you what, there won't be enough students living in the dorms to even keep them open.
Having recently purchased Fallout:New Vegas, and discovering Steam needed to be installed....
Eww, not liking that little bit of info. At least you can disable GFWL on Fallout 3.
I can honestly say I've never sold a PC game after purchase. Is this a pretty common thing to do?

Heh, I voted almost the exact same way.
Yeah... this sounds like so much fun. I remember why I don't play RTS games anymore.
This has become a popular meme in politics, but it simply isn't true. Re: Reid v. Covert, October 1956

I have an modern update for that old canard. "Never assign malice where *greed* will suffice".
