a pilot that knew what he was doing (which includes every pilot "type certified" for %aircraft%) could do a lot in the window of Normal Operations to Risk Damage to the Airframe/Passengers. The way it would work is 1 vent the cabin 2 DIVE for lower altitudes 3 have copilot call the nearest ATC for a Emergency Landing Clearance.
THIS PLANE WILL NOT BE HIJACKED.
as far as Legal Issues are concerned i would think that the FAA would allow "Reasonable Care in Limiting Damage" as a defense.
All you have to do is have proper locks and PROPERLY CHECK A FIREARM.
as of that moment your luggage is considered a sealed container and can not be legally opened without you being present. (please note this does not have to be a working firearm and details may vary with each airline but...)
its funny how close the "unlock cockpit" and "vent cabin" buttons are on the planes control panel.
don't forget the most dangerous weapon on an airplane is THE AIRPLANE ITSELF.
all a pilot would have to do in the worst case is 1 vent the cabin 2 disable the autopilot 3 have a bit of "fun" with aerobatics
result 1 plane full of folks that have been tossed about like dice in a cup. ("ATC this is flight 34583 request immediate clearance for landing and Medical meet us on the ground." "roger flight 34583 nature and scope of injuries...")
actually for Windows based computers the problem is that Microsoft basically has told Computer OEMs that if you preload X Y Z products (MSIE Office and Media Player commonly) AND don't also preload any competing products then your price per computer sold for Windows (and any other MSGoodness) is $XX but if you don't your price per computer sold is $Y*X (which approaches Retail Cost for some OEMS)
As to why Apple does not have the same problem
1 they sell the hardware also 2 most iFolk will either know how to download say FireFox or would prefer Safari anyway
it the problem of high performance always has a price. Okay so you used Thinkrin(TM) to boost your brain by 20% so now what??
Where is the 20% going to come from??
Look at Every Single Star in various Fields and then count the number of them that
1 Did not die either well or of Old Age 2 are severely CRACKED 3 have bodies that are a wreck (for Fields that include a lot of Physical Stuff) 4 landed up adding their pharmacists to the Christmas list just because DAH DRUGS became very important
sure overclock your brain by 20% but don't be surprised when in 10 years you land up thinking that FaceBook Games are the best thing ever (or whatever NetFad replaces FB)
While the Justice department shares legal code with the Department of Defense if you are in the military then you go before the Judge Advocate General and they use the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.
true fact a guy in the process of doing a crime could choose which court he wants by making sure he does/does not wait until he is separated from the military.
There is an account of a lab dating a sample as being 200,000 years old but When they told the CoalMiner the sample came from he was very surprised.
also with any radioisotope dating you can get a rather large spread even in the same chunk of "stuff" (and with the same technique also) this is even Order of Magnitude level differences.
they after some warmup verbiage said THOSE EXACT WORDS
which of course takes 1 Being able to prove you are RIGHT 2 Testicles that resemble above average sized Coconuts 3 Not wanting to be diplomatic AT ALL
personally i think any attempt to access French Media via a google search should result in an error message that implies (in a court friendly manner) that the information is 1 Known to be Wrong 2 Pirated 3 otherwise contaminated
if somebody is being stupid (because they are a kid) then it should not prevent them from getting a decent job later
but if they are an Evil Genius In Training then a "sealed" juvie record can get Unsealed (i think in Criminal Minds Penelope cracked a few Juvie records for some of the UnSubs.)
Thats why Trial as An Adult is a weapon in the Juvie system.
the trick is that if you start with a wider gene pool to start out with then you have a greater chance of having the "dice" find something interesting.
look at it this way if you have to roll 35 on 4d10 to evolve and you start out with 8d10 its a lot easier to do this.
(btw this shows a logical fault in evolution since way to many things have A-MG chains of traits that if they don't all work then
there are several subjects that a person NEEDS to handle life.

Since your Way Of Life at its core depends on your belief of a Higher Power (as 0-N entities with Mu possible) even an atheist is somewhat religious.
Oh btw the In The Beginning X question is at the core of everything so thats why it does not get a "pass".
sure if they want to pay for a Driver (but they might want to buy a couple Dozen).
if you level a building with a drone or with an A-10 it does not matter if the building in question has "civilians" in it.
drones at least can be lost without needing rather long term (and expensive) build processes.
the ideal drone should be able to "redact" a single building and leave the surrounding buildings intact.
All you have to do is have proper locks and PROPERLY CHECK A FIREARM.

i would think that there is exactly ZERO chance of making a rigged simple component without making it look different from what is normal.
now you might be able to dink with an IC (by using a smaller process than the chip requires) but at the resistor/cap/diode level there is NO ROOM.
even if you somehow "bugged" a component tolerances would be murder.
given that the license folks make National Socialist Troops look like MayBerry troops yes.
There are stories where Original Certificates Of Authenticity were not considered "valid" proof of being legit
they tend to want to see actual receipts with serial numbers for each and every program loaded on each and every computer you have.

this of course would make 98% of TV rather boring in comparison but...
at least in the US that is actually very True.
While the Justice department shares legal code with the Department of Defense if you are in the military then you go before the Judge Advocate General and they use the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.
true fact a guy in the process of doing a crime could choose which court he wants by making sure he does/does not wait until he is separated from the military.
and how exactly is this not effectively an ACT OF WAR??
I would think that if they are not very very careful %other_nation% might object very forcefully.
Also if they are mucking around with the files on a computer what is to say that they are not going to PLANT evidence??

if this is actually a working system then
1 IT MAKES OIL (which is most likely cleaner than the stuff we dig up)
2 This can be done locally (so no depending on THEM) for Oil.
3 we need Oil for Stuff also (plastics use Oil)
4 it takes a nonzero amount of energy to refine Oil (and then truck/pipeline it to where its being used)

What you need to do is combine the Epic Fine solution with
1 tag the Bank/payment processors for providing services to these folks (last link US link in the chain for foreign banks)
2 fine the businesses the call is on behalf of unless it can be proven this was done without authorization (Joe Job prevention)
3 climb the corporate ladder and put the CxOs on the hook for part of the fines
on different computers?? (not counting Clone systems) with different default printers??

of course if you "wetjack" a dog you could have the transmitter in the dogs collar.
I think the biggest reason for making bomb detecting tech is the matter of false negatives (what happens if the package goes BOOM)
With Tech you just blew up a $XK device
With a Dog BENJI WENT BOOM!!!
Dog Handlers tend to get very miffed when they lose a dog.
from a police report where a perp hurt a K9 before getting nabbed
" number of shots fired: 30
number of shots hit : 12
reason for number of shots: RAN OUT OF AMMO"
well i wanted to do something a bit less religious in this case
Im just waiting for Cold Days myself
Pro Tip if you find "stuff" WEAR GLOVES since you never know what is on/in what you found.
try this with MSO2009 and MSO2007 and see if it works

GAME OVER (You Have Died))
Judas was paid 30 denarians (which are SILVER). of course if you read The Dresden Files it becomes a plot point that all 30 became "cursed".

If you are really concerned that he is missing stuff like public speaking do the same thing that the Trophy Wife you keep chatting up does with her daughter to fix the lack of Ballet Courses in the public schools ARRANGE FOR THEM AFTER SCHOOL.
