DDoS blackmail isn't a thing, though some do fall for the scam:
Given that the attackers can't tell who has paid the extortion fee and who has not, it is perhaps not surprising to learn that they appear to treat all victims the same: attacking none of them. To date, we've not seen a single attack launched against a threatened organization. This is in spite of nearly all of the threatened organizations we're aware of not paying the extortion fee. We've compared notes with fellow DDoS mitigation vendors and none of them have seen any attacks launched since March against organizations that have received Armada Collective threats.
I come from the corporate world, so poignantly documented by Scott Adams, and the "yuppies," or "upwardly mobile," young folks and their kids would buy a house, occupy it for a year or three, get promoted to a better place with a higher salary, selling their current home for a small profit.
That was in the late '80s, early '90s.
My corporation topped out in revenues; sold off all non-core ventures and "right-sized," to a position where they could be sold.
“Standing has been a barrier in cases that seek to vindicate people’s privacy rights,” said Jennifer Granick, a Stanford Law School professor. “It’s a serious issue in conducting constitutional litigation, and this case is no different.”
Four court decisions listed by U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle all reached the same conclusion -- Fourth Amendment protections can only be cited by individuals, and not vicariously by third parties. The most recent was a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the family of a driver who was shot and killed by police after a high-speed chase couldn’t invoke that right on his behalf related to a lawsuit over his death.
You don't know the strategy of every fucking immigrant who comes here.
It is not illegal to come to this country.
The response to a first-timer is simply deportation.
There are no fines, no jail time.
Just deportation.
But mere unlawful presence in the country is not a crime. It is a violation of federal immigration law to remain in the country without legal authorization, but this violation is punishable by civil penalties, not criminal. Chief among these civil penalties is deportation or removal, where an unlawful resident may be detained and removed from the country. Unlawful presence can also have negative consequences for a resident who may seek to gain re-entry into the United States, or permanent residency.

Invest in your looser people.
Fuck you.
You said they were tight.
... based on Transportation Department data.
I read the fucking book.
Go look at why Apple brought him back and the in-fighting over cheap vs polished.
Also, look at sales trends vs the presence of Jobs vs his passing.
Apple is trying to buy a Steve Jobs.
... Steve Jobs.
... mistake to assume that anyone who is susceptible to rhetoric is 'uneducated' ...
Think that over a bit:
In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%.

We're old and stuff.
I think market pressures will fix the security problems, pretty quickly as IoT becomes ubiquitous.
Recall Apple's and Microsoft's ongoing fight for security.

10 get foxnews.com

Oh, you mean run my own server?

Just "No."

TL;DR
I come from the corporate world, so poignantly documented by Scott Adams, and the "yuppies," or "upwardly mobile," young folks and their kids would buy a house, occupy it for a year or three, get promoted to a better place with a higher salary, selling their current home for a small profit.

It was the "Mobil Oil" part of ExxonMobil.
This study says it's not like that any more.
So your point is that s/he could escape very quickly and very often?
Yep.
And Stephen Hawking, too.

A question, by construct, is not a lie.
You know that and are poking.
I get it.
Nice and all, but it's speculation.
As regards this matter, the relevant question is the legality of the events precisely at the border with precisely this phone and this individual.
If we're going to allow speculation, my money's on "profiling."
Question not relevant.
The relevant question is:
What is NASA's policy regarding employees taking NASA phones with them when leaving the country?
I don't know, and it doesn't matter.
... the stuff they found was the waste water.
Actually, the person who handed over the phone probably did not have standing to claim 4th amendment rights.
The phone is not his.
It belongs to NASA.
For reference, see this about Microsoft:

I'm lying and you want me to believe you.
Short answer is, "no," ... to both.
