    When will people use standard units? I'm sorry it's a particular gripe of mine; kelvin is the universal scale. The sooner we wipe out imperial units the better (unless anyone else wants to convert to a base 12 system?).
    No system is fit to be called "Standard" until it's base 2...

  9. Box cutters in the airport on What Examples of Security Theater Have You Encountered? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Have any of you heard what happens if you get caught with a box cutter in an airport? Well, I'll tell you. I accidentally left some tools in the side-pockets of my backpack after a camping trip. One of them was a honest-to-God Sears box cutter. Not any of that dayglo plastic crap--this thing could bludgeon as well as it could cut.

    So, I'm at the airport, ready to board an international flight with that same backpack. To their credit, the security checkpoint found the thing, but what do you think they did? Nothing! No taking down names and numbers, no "Why don't you have a seat over there?"--nothing. They just threw it in a big red bucket with, among other things, at least two other bright orange box cutters.

    Now, seeing as how I was just trying to get to Frankfurt in one piece and that it was an honest mistake, they did the right thing. But what other than "security theater" can you call it if you've set up the infrastructure to catch box cutter-wielding hijackers (whether that's a threat or not), and you just let folks on after anonymously checking their cutlery.

    The only thing these videos bring to the table are constant allegations of conspiracy theories. These do not qualify as evidence worth considering before passing judgment. They are merely pop science.

    Tell me, if all of this was immediately confirmed and replicated across the world, why haven't I heard of it? I'd expect better evidence to the contrary than an episode of a tv series on the paranormal.

    Arthur Firstenberg, a known Mathematics major, looks to have some previous experience with electromagnetic conspiracy, mostly with cellphones and x-rays. He's also the author of Microwaving our Planet, published by his Cellular Phone Taskforce. Every once in a while he'll publish an article in non-scientific environmental periodicals.

    Also, check out, Electromagnetic Fields (EMF): The Killing Fields , it's full of lol:

    Having stumbled upon an obviously well-kept secret, I researched the world literature on bioelectromagnetics, (or the biological effects of electromagnetism), and made myself an expert. I learned that electro-cautery machines, used in every modern surgical operation to cut through tissue and to stop bleeding, expose surgeons to much higher levels of radio frequency radiation than is permitted for workers in any industry. I learned that there was a disease thoroughly described in the Russian and Eastern European medical literature called radiowave sickness, the existence of which was usually denied by western authorities. This description made me remember my `unknown illness', the one that had derailed my medical career. Bradycardia, or a slow heart rate, was said, in these texts, to be a grave sign.

    Because there are virtually no workplaces without computers any more, I have not held a job since 1990. I had resigned myself to living on Social Security Disability, and learned, together with other members of a support group I had found, how best to live with my disability. This mostly meant learning to avoid exposure to electromagnetic fields. But in July 1996, to my dismay, I learned that an innovation was coming to my city, which threatened to make it impossible to avoid exposure any more.
    ...
    The California Department of Health Services has concluded that, on the basis of a telephone survey, 120,000 Californians - and by implication one million Americans - have left their jobs because of electromagnetic pollution in the workplace. The people who have left their homes for such a reason are not being counted by anyone.
