The Pentagon would not have been struck if this system was in place. The hijack pilot of the plane and another hijacker were stopped by the Maryland State Police the night before on a traffic stop. Being in visa violation they would have been detained.
It's your ability to reasonably evaluate alternatives which doesn't work.
No, it wouldn't. Each plane had two pilots, so unless both pilots were captured, and unless both talked, it would not have made a difference. Z> Moussaoui knew of the attacks, and even though he was being held by the INS, he didn't talk. So there's no proof that capturing one person would have stopped the attacks in any way.
Two people were in the car that was stopped. One was the only terrorist on that plane with flight training. Stop the one pilot and you stop the hijacking. Second, the terrorists plan called for canceling the attack on one plane if two men from any one team were detained. They wanted a minimum of four on each plane. If two are in jail, that plane doesn't get hijacked.
Do I think that would be hijackers would try to get new improved real-id?
If they do, then they are entered into the database and should any agency of the government (INS for visa violation, FBI for suspected terrorist, CIA for evidence of being in terrorist training camps, etc.) post a reason to detain, they will be detained at the next traffic stop. THIS ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE SAVED THE LIVES OF ONE PLANEFUL OF PEOPLE AND THOSE THEY KILLED CRASHING INTO ON THE GROUND ON SEP 11, 2001. Two of the hijackers were traffic stopped the night before but the State Trooper had no way of knowing they were in violation.
If they don't get the new id and get a fake id then everytime they use it they run the risk of getting busted and having far greater scrutiny. A friend of mine, for a joke, put me on Interpol's Suspected Drug Courier list. I was detained in Fiji for a few days where every record available was searched. Because I was flying generally toward New Zealand (destination Australia) a warrant from there was identified and I had to resolve that before the Fijians would release me. Had I been a terrorist the extra days probably would have been helpful to the authorities and that would have been that.
Because the costs of getting into space hasn't changed much, this is really just a reusable capsule which will be launched on a disposable rocket. The other components will be launched on seperate disposable rockets (or one day, built in space.) It's more efficent than the shuttle, much cheaper and safer. Splashdowns used to be my most favorite part of the space mission and it looks like we'll be having them again. Probably not nationally televised though.
Language certainly requires a probablistic database, at least for the lexicon. Syntax, semantics, morphology and phonology all respond more to the rules of probablistic databases than relational ones. If such a key function in human life/ culture is a probablistic database system, isn't it logical that higher-level functions would also be?
But ongoing follow-up during parole is typically quite accepted. In my home state, Illinois, someone released on parole cannot carry a gun, cross state lines without permission of their parole officer, leave the country without special permission, hold certain jobs, etc.
The other problem with this solution is the drive time delay. It takes something like a minimum of eight minutes for radio signals to get to the rover and eight minutes for signals to get back. Imagine driving (even very slowly) knowing that the image you are receiving is 8 minutes old and that your instructions won't take effect for 8 more minutes.
Try jiggling the joystick for about 16 minutes and then assume you are out so full power ahead. Great if it works, you're stuck even deeper if it doesn't.
I worked with a few of these people on a variety of things and in general and in specific, they did one heck of a job. I think they all wish they could go to a next generation vehicle.
Now that's bad news on two seperate fronts. I'll remind the next Dane who complains to me about how bad Americans treat native Americans that they've yet to "unoppress" (or is that "UN oppress"?) their own aboriginal inhabitants.
. . . count this person as brainwashed by the yellow press.
This has been done by every administration since at least the Eisenhower era. I personally, when I worked for a NASA contracter, was excluded from multiple such conferences even though I had written the code and led the key project. That being Carter era to Reagan to Bush to Clintoon.
Nuclear Power is simply the best option for the expanding appetite for power throughout the world. There are regional inconsistencies and the entire nuclear industry needs to get with the 21st century but if you want to reduce greenhouse gases this is the way to go. Increasing solar and wind is helpful but will not close the petroleum fired plants.
If this could be extended to vocal performances then I know of the perfect recording to utilize. I heard it on the Dr Demento show many years ago, it was an operatic aria by a castratti, a "modified" human. The vocal power was that of a man but the range encompassed both that of a woman and a man. Quite an eery performance when you considered that the singer paid a huge sacrifice to become a great singer. Many operas were written so that only castratti could perform certain roles and are now non-performable.
Everytime I turn around I keep hearing about how wonderful spy satelitte's are. The problem is, unless they know where to look, they can't find anything. A typical spy satelitte is in a useful location once or twice a day for 5 minutes tops each. This was also demonstrated in Clear and Present Danger when the Irish thugs hid while the US satelitte was overhead and were replaced by Libyans. It was only when the satelitte was 'retasked' that useful images were captured. Quit telling me about counting the hairs on a man's head, start telling me about how to find things. BTW: Sadaam spending billions of dollars looted from Oil-for-Food on tricking US satelitte images was itself an 'act of war' as identified in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (and about twenty other international treaties) which fully justified the invasion of Iraq.

Start thinking not preaching.
Those who give up a little freedom for putative security neither deserve, nor shall receive either.
Really!!!??!!
I'll be sure to yell "Fire!!" Next time you are in a crowded movie house.
Two fronts here.

reduction in the chance of future terrorism via jet hijacking, I'll take a little bit of compromising my privacy.
Right now that probe is as useful as the rusting 76 Chevy Impala out back of my future father in law's trailer.

I've posted a journal entry discussing this issue. Feel free to comment.

As opposed to GlobalStar?
On the other hand, the GPS system works quite effectively in both the Arctic and Antarctic (or at least their oceans.)
Gotta love the US military for spending money like that.

Take a look at my political posts which get shredded for being pro-Bush.
Okay, what moron moderated this idiot up?

This is good news even without the "Space Station Crew".

Don't fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll get too close to the sun and your wings will melt !!!!!!!!!!!!
A courtesy warning brought to you by an early aviator.
Buy one now before the air commute becomes congested as well.
So do you trust everything you see in print? I'm not dissing the Telegraph per se, just print media in general. Nothing like trusting the BBC in toto.
