Now go and try this at home. The idea is that little efforts won't get you success. It will require a complex enough effort to get you through it that it will at least discourage a large part of these groups from even coming close to success.
So the question here is: Is it possible you will deter explosives inside electronics? National security experts seem to think so.
I'm sure your enormous amount of experience in national security is why you are so much wiser than the existing members in charge of national security.
Sure, but most explosive materials are easily visible if not concealed in the LCD screen or the battery itself. What the check does (and my understanding it's thorough) is that the components that CANNOT be checked via X-ray will be hopefully caught using the "turn on" policy. Although the article doesn't specify this, common practice in the past was to only force this extra step on laptops for which the X-ray could not get a good reading on.
TSA is going to get lots of heat for this (same as in the 90s when this process was originally implemented and then removed) and they know it. They would not do this if national security didn't require it. It only affects overseas flights in case you didn't read the article.
I don't see a problem showing a device is working as intended. If it can prevent even one bomb from going on a plane it's well worth it. I don't see why people are getting bent out of shape about this. Take a chill pill people.
Another extremely negative person in this world. Who give a F***. We love it and that's it. You can stick to your paper book, we enjoy being lazy and watching a great show and GoT offers exactly that.
It's not bankrupt. You don't understand what it means. There are other ways to pay back a debt other than to take tax dollars from citizens. The country isn't at the point of bankruptcy.
I agree. We can have people go ape shit because ONE problem isn't being resolved by the authorities or people are being unreasonable. IMHO it's easier to just lower your window and nicely tell them they are causing danger for other drivers and should consider getting a blue tooth device. Sure some will tell you to go F yourself but some will think twice before picking up the phone.
Actually it just shows me MS might be growing out of their shell. In the past they would have avoided doing this by any means but now they have acquired a company and decided that it is somewhat neutral to it's own objectives. This is the best way to move forward as a business.
It's not the point. The point is to take a material that does nothing and to make it useful again. There's only so much plastic you can convert back into carpet and other non critical product. If this isn't BS and the result of the transformation is more fuel than what was used then it's a no brainer. The technology will be adopted and improved which will have even bigger ROI.
Currently we pay to get rid of plastic. This allows making plastic disposal lucrative and that in my books is a positive ROI.
I don't think it has anything to do with courage. Businesses have to be able to leverage the patent to repay R&D cost. I know not all patents fall under this category but many do.
Tesla is niche enough that they can afford to do it because it won't prevent them from recovering their R&D cost. But not all products or business models allow for easy return on R&D investments.
Do they actually have an IP address? I didn't think they did. I though they were using a separate network model to pass data from cell towers to devices. I was under the impression that the device number (sim card) was used for communicating data to a specific device. which is also the reason why copying a sim card gets all the data that user is receiving if in the same zone.
Protecting yourself from the state renders the issue of locked guns a non issue as if you decide to bare arms against your government you will have ample time to do so. In the case of a break in, getting to your gun Is more important and having a hand gun in the dresser is probably the best option but it should not be left there for just anybody to pickup either...
Facts are facts and although crime is declining in the US, the US still has one of the higher crime rates of comparable countries. I'm not saying guns. See this chart. I found this to be very interesting. http://www.visionofhumanity.or...
At 3-6 miles per gallon it's a pretty big factor if you figure the average crown vic did 14-16 miles per gallons and that was only costing 15 000 per year. That means the military vehicle will only cost $69 000 per year assuming same mileage. What a saving!!!
The CDC has a recent report (which was requested by Obama) showing the increased gun ownership deters gun violence but don't be fooled by the report they say. The standard of living and the increased level of education of the general population has a much bigger impact on general violence than gun ownership. It was actually said that more people could afford guns because their standard of living had increased.
It seems every gun owner out there needs to justify their ownership of a gun. Stop trying to justify it and use it properly. This means lock it so it cannot be miss used by a person with bad intentions. I think that's simple enough and allows everybody to continue enjoying guns for hunting, self defense or for target practice.
Same goes for the 24 year old who killed 3 federal officers last week in Moncton. In the US they probably would have shot him and asked questions later.
I have a question for all you software developers, IT staffing and security experts. Has Snowden action changed anything in your work road maps or personal lives?
I can tell you that Snowden revealing all these secrets has changed nothing in my work or personal life and I can tell you that it is the case for most people. When I mention Snowden and what he did, most people are completely unaware of him and his actions. Why? I can only speculate that they can't be bothered to change their day to day or they just don't care that NSA knows everything about everything.
Please do not take this as a sign of disrespect towards Snowden as I believe the man is a modern day hero but I feel very little will change even after his huge sacrifice.

Logic has nothing to do with this.
A few isolated issues doesn't make it a problem. If they suspect something they have every right to inspect. I still don't see the issue.

Life smaller than money (it didn't take the markup char)

Moral of your argument: Life money.
MIND BLOWN!
Any proof of this or you own personal speculation.
how many will it take for it to be a problem. Do we have to wait for a plane to fall from the sky to be pro-active?
There was a shoe bomb. Electronics are hard to screen using the xray. Shoes aren't.
So you don't carry around your charger?
I don't see a problem showing a device is working as intended. If it can prevent even one bomb from going on a plane it's well worth it.

You completely missed the point. Speaking of the alternative way to deal with this...
It's not bankrupt. You don't understand what it means. There are other ways to pay back a debt other than to take tax dollars from citizens. The country isn't at the point of bankruptcy.

Thank you for the clarification.

Clarification required. :)
This was a known problem in 1999. 15 years later...
Officer: Are you being paid to carry this passenger?
Driver: No, this is my friend. We are car pooling.
Officer: Ok. Have a good day!
PROVE IT. Nobody is going to get stopped for this.
Agreed.

For some reason I don't doubt that.
