... since the Israeli ecconomy is entirely dependent on the US. </I>
The U.S. aid to Israel is only several percent of Israel's gross national product.
Saying that Isreal is depnedant on the US is like saing that, since most of the grain in the world is growen in the US, the only people who are not dependant on the US are those who live in Africe. (they can't pay for US grain...)

You did not get my point. Lets say you have mony for one more (armed) security man.
Where would you place him? on the plane next to the cockpit door? or on the ground screening people?
(By the way I'm an infantry sargent.) Believe me, no perimiter is even close to being 100% secure. If you have a lot of people walking in and out, and they have time to scout and test your security procedures, chanses are thet they will be able to bypass them.
But if you put an armed guard at the door, chances are he will stop four men armed with knives. (or even better, put another one behind the door...)
Problem: someone with a knife took over a plane and crashed it.
There were three places he could have been easily stopped: 1. The knife might have been discovered while he was boarding the plane. 2. An armed security guard could have stopped him while he attempted the takeover. 3. The cockpit door should have been locked.
I would have fixed 2&3. (but that requires thinking)
This whole ssss business just shows that they are clueless, any perimeter defense can be circumvented or breached. If you want to protect something, focus on the inner layers of protection, investing in the outer ones is much less effective.
As a Mensa member you probably know that the cubic distance rule only applies to radiation that is spherically symmetric. If the source is, for instance, a beacon shape exiting from the poles, as would be expected from a rotating charged ball, the power would only drop linearly with distance.

Law enforcement taps take place within the telco infrastructure: i.e. after the conversation has been received & decrypted by the base station.
That is good if all you need is evidance.
But if you need tactical intel during an operation, live realtime intel is pricless.

Design flaw or Feature?

It has long been suspected that GSM encryption was specificaly designed with some 'weak spot' to allow law-enforcemant monitoring. Does anyone know if the article is available online? I'd like to know if this flaw looks more like a mistake or somthing more intentional. None of the meadia people who spoke about it seem to understand that "Instant Ciphertext-Only Cryptanalysis" means you are effectivly not protected at all.
You should also cinsider the fact, that debugging device drivers under Linux, is much easier then under windows, because you have the source of the OS, and if you suspect that there is a bug, you can add your debug code wherever you want and test it. (sometimes much faster then reading the code and trying to find it - something you can't do in windoze anywhay.)
One company I worked for even developed a linux deriver, it had no intention of officialy releasing, (It was just one part of a bigger device) just to get the ability to debug the the hardware efficiantly.
(Yes I am a linux kernel programmer.)
Besides, if your devieces are usefull, the Linux comunity has an intrest in having them work under linux. If your device is something of common use, say an IDE controller or a NIC, you would find people willing to help you, or even write the driver for you, if you provid the full documantation and a working sample. (and if you give them a peek at the sources of your working windows driver it will probably be a very simple job. ) If you are willing to supply these then the right place to ask is on the LKML.
I would consider options as a bonus, not part of my salary. what I mean is always consider the chance that they will be worthless. I'm currently stuck with a zillion $50 options for a stock that is right now worth ~$5. (and I considder myself - lucky I didn't lose any real monny, just Imaginary munny.)

True but let's be more accurate. men _on_the_average_ have better 3d (and numaric) abilities, while woman are _on_the_average_ better at linguistic abilities. the standard deviation in each group, however is bigger then the diff in the averages, so it says little about comparing any two individuals. This has been known for quite a while. IQ tests, for instance, give numarical and linguistic abilities equal value exactly because of this.
