Advertisers care, particularly political advertisers. This is a clue toward how to make GWB's crude attempt to label himself a "compassionate conservative" work.
IIRC tin oxide is a fair conductor and moderately transparent. Consequently it is used where those properties are important, such as some displays where a conductive layer is placed on glass.
"I think all flights should have two or more armed FAMs on every flight"
Some commercial flights use quite small planes (12 seats or fewer.) These flights are already too expensive as it is; reducing seating capacity by 16% and adding two paid guards is not practical.
That wasn't from a tank of oxygen. That was from the type of oxygen generator that airplanes use, generated chemically from other compounds. In the case of ValueJet, out-of-date generators were being illegally transported and one or more activated. Not being a part of the system it was designed to be in, it generated lots of heat and made a nasty fire accelerated by the very oxygen it was generating.
Assume 2000 psi and cabin pressure of 10 psi. Assume tank volume of 0.5 cubic foot (rather large, actually.) Assume a cabin 120 feet long, 15 feet wide, 15 feet high. That's 20,000 cubic feet. Even if the contents of the tank were released instantaneously, pressure would rise by only 1% to 10.1 psi. The average enrichment of oxygen would be from 20% to 21%, assuming (optimistically) that it was 20% in the first place. Of course, local enrichment would be higher for a while.
Or are you assuming that the tank would act like a rocket if the valve were knocked off? Assume a hole diameter of 0.25 inches, that would provide a thrust of up to 90 pounds-force, which would certainly be a nuisance if the tank were launched to fly around inside the aircraft and if it flew straight instead of spinning around madly. But punch a hole through the side of the airplane? Consider that airplanes must be able to survive running into large birds at cruising speed ( > 500 mph) and you'll understand that the oxygen tank is not a realistic threat.
That's no excuse for abusing an infirm old man. If he's suspected, take him aside, put him in a comfy chair, and have some sympathetic, gentle person do the appropriate searching. Abuse of power by security screeners should result in jail terms.
My father died about 2 years ago. His last 6 months of intense suffering was made possible by modern medicine. Keeping him alive was no favor to either him or my family.
The reason is inadequate, and any airline caught doing this should be driven out of business by lack of customers. Furthermore, you don't have to batter someone to determine their fitness for travel.
Most tax money is wasted. In 1955 Connecticut had a 3% sales tax and no income tax. Now sales tax is 7% or more and there's an income tax. How have state-provided "services" have improved due to that huge increase? California's debt is due to absurd waste and corruption, not low taxes.
M88k was a loser for Motorola, despite pushing it hard. It has been abandoned. M68k lives on (kinda) as Coldfire.
I didn't know that Data General went to M88k. It apparently didn't help, DG eventually became a storage company, lost market share and profitability, and got bought out.
Registering to vote gives the district in which you vote time to verify your right to vote in that district and (potentially) to notify your old district that you are no longer entitled to vote in the old district. Otherwise, a determined cheat could drive around and cast 20 or more votes for his favorites in national and state elections. In short, registration helps prevent election fraud.
It is not true that the state should serve the people, nor is it true that the people should serve the state. The state should promote conditions that make involuntary servitude impossible.
Not that I think low level radio waves are likely source of danger, but they are alternating. The earth's magnetic field is static and therefor has much less capability for generating currents inside your body.
Be sure to weld all the edges of the foil together so that there are no gaps. Failure to do so can result in locally intense fields. And don't burn yourself with the welding torch.
A possible explanation is that people who are well off financially tend to take better care of themselves physically, and that they are not tempted by lower prices to buy a house near an ugly transmitter tower.

But if you're massive, you warp space, and therefor you're an essential part of a warp drive.

The money has to come from somewhere. I do not wish to live on money stolen from legally disarmed victims (commonly known as taxpayers).

Your last six words are superfluous.

Kindly keep up with the news. Long term, biodiesel can be produced from algae.

I think that pabulum is generally understood to mean baby food.
My objection to "The Economist" is that it is particularly weak in its use of the established principles of economics.

Such as your right to leave the country without being shot by border guards of the country you're leaving?
Stop behaving like a baby.

Alcoa bought Reynolds recently. Reynolds is just a brand name now.
