    Simple solution, do NOT place classified info on phones or computers that are traveling out of the country and coming back in. Or ship them freight instead.

    The government (both parties) couldn't have been happier with 9/11 allowing them to push the police state to the extent they have, and it's only going to get worse...

    Be nice, but America, like most other nations, is turning into a terror-state when the government doesn't give a flying fuck about citizens and their rights.

    No shit, illusion of safety in exchange for basic human rights. America was a fun experiment till the fascists got control of it...

  16. " And any reasonable professional will be driving a car that will wear well"

    Any reasonable PROFESSIONAL will be woirking for an actual cab company or car service, NOT Uber or Lyft.

    (Side note, I don't hear about Lyft on the news or even on Slashdot nearly as much as (if at all) at Uber.... not sure what that says about Lyft.... )

  17. "OTOH, if I were unemployed and since I have a decent car, I'd probably start driving for Uber or Lyft immediately while I looked for another 'real' job."

    So in other words, you're smart enough to NOT think it's an actual "living wage" option...

  18. And if they are leasing from Uber, it's just like working for a cab company

  19. Plus don't you still have to pay maintenance costs on leased cars? And carry Commercial-level auto inurance?

    I was wondering, how many of these Uber drivers have Commercial-coverage on their auto insurance? They are are using the car a job, a transport service, not just to get to and from work or take the kids to school...
