I can't prove a negative but I'd like to think they would have patched it and publicized it if given the opportunity.
This company just wants free/. pub, and it's working.
I don't think you need it every time, just to figure out how the thing worked.
The way it works doesn't really surprise me, municipalities take this amazing technology, apply bad practices, lowest common denominator stuff, and use horrendous security at an inflated cost for not much benefit.
My position is that it's a farce in the first place and that was just a symptom.
I don't think people should be given preferential treatment, I just think the current screening process shouldn't exist in the first place.
We're just human cattle to them.
If someone really wanted to do something, he/she could just blow up the hundreds of people waiting at the bottleneck BEFORE security screening.
I never argued that, I just went along with the path that posed the least resistance.
I say "hey, there's no nitro in hand lotion" I'm on a one-way flight to Cuba.
I took a flight once from Dulles to Dublin.
They told me my laptop tested positive for nitro glycerin.
I said "so?"
They said "well nitro glycerin is in a lot of hand lotions"
"Then I used hand lotion."
The TSA is really hit or miss.
I had to take off my flip flop sandals at Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.
"You call these shoes?"
"They're footwear"
And they were patting down a disabled WWII vet in a wheelchair.
I told the fresh out of high school kid that he should be embarrassed.
That old guy obviously hates America.
You're really at their mercy though.
Clicking "buy" is only an offer for you to buy a product at that price, the order is still subject to verification and acceptance.
Ergo, they did nothing wrong and you have a bunch of guys trying to get 470$ worth of free stuff.
Them overselling their capacity is "NMFP", not my fucking problem.
Either don't promise what you can't deliver, or increase capacity.
Speaking of "net neutrality", consumers pay for internet access, Apple is paying bandwidth for itunes.
Who is getting a free ride?
The ISPs just want to bleed you more for a service you're already paying for.
Yes, I forgot that if they are able to install software on your computer, they might also be able to install a root certificate created by the police, and send you a kind-of-genuine certificate for www.terrorists.com, signed by www.police.de. Or they _might_ be able to convince a certificate authority to give them an actual, valid certificate for www.terrorists.com, which would be a bit worrying.
If they DNS spoof and redirect traffic to one of their servers, and have a valid certificate for "whateversite.com" issued by Verisign, you'd get no warning at all. I doubt this would even have to be at the physical layer.

Yeah, the signal to noise ratio would be through the roof if you just scan everyone.
Yeah, I'm sure they don't consult or anything.

I'm not even sure why /. has comments anymore, the posts are more like editorials.

Your ISP's server could also do a zone transfer from a rogue DNS server and get poisoned cache. But most smart ISPs won't allow that.
What's going to stop a worm from using the vulnerability MS opens for a whitehat worm for nefarious purposes? It will be found.
The internet. Serious business.
That depends on how throughly confident you are in the incompetence of your fellow man.

I'm not talking preferred, I'm talking "maybe you shouldn't select the crippled war vet for extra screening" kind of thing.
My mom got a card to show because of her hip replacement. Has the doctor's name on it and everything.
They're trying to prevent something that's already happened.
We're just human cattle to them. If someone really wanted to do something, he/she could just blow up the hundreds of people waiting at the bottleneck BEFORE security screening.
If someone wants to do something, they're going to find a way.
Fortunately or unfortunately, we'll never know.
Tim McVeigh wasn't a disabled octogenarian.

mac spoofing, arp poisoning, dns spoofing, and a fake certificate
Competitive advantage left CC long ago.
Most of the onstar features you never want to have to use, if that makes sense. But you'd probably be really glad you have them if you need them.
