    Incorrect, unless you powder the lithium. Otherwise you just make a slightly bigger fire. If you use enough water you can actually put out lithium by cooling it so much. Remember the fire triangle.

    Even using 100% coal it would be cleaner than a gasoline powered car. You don't have the same scrubbing equipment in your exhaust. Lithium is not toxic and it is easy to recycle.

    And what happens when there is very little non-EME content? What happens when your bank uses it, the .gov sites require it and you must use it to buy things?

    Nothing I would hope.
    The fraud was against the bank not that person. If I walk into a bank and claim to be Bill Gates and start withdrawing funds you think that is fraud against Mr.Gates or the bank?

    I meant if we the target of the investigation is not the target of the MITM attack.

    What I meant was if they have the CA cert and a copy of the priv key or heck at that point they can just take the cert like they did for lavabit, it is game over.

    The previous order was a violation of due process.
    Then the judge somehow believed the FBI would not take more data than they were allowed. So either he was in on it or incredibly foolish.

    All police states have to start somewhere and letting lavabit operate while holding the keys to it is one hell of an observation tool.

    I am aware this is not the first time, but like before we will need something major to wake people up.

    Stop right there. The fact that they are allowed this without probable cause is already too much.

    They should have sent it 4 point one character per page.

    The fact that the judge believed the FBI would only take the info the warrant allowed makes him either an accomplice or as naive as a child.

    In all fairness their first request was horseshit. The idea that the metadata of email even encrypted email is not protected is already so outlandish as to be nearly unbelievable. We now know we live in a police state.

    This judge is either willingly part of this bullshit or the most naive SOB that ever lived when he believed the FBI would only take the information the warrant allowed. If you give them the ability to get more they will take more.

    I want to see some numbers on that before I even speculate. The USA alone spends hundreds of billions of dollars on drugs. It is a huge part of our economy. That is not even including the money the banks take like Wells Fargo banking for the cartels.

    So they can't even manage a level holding tank and they are allowed to keep managing this clean up?

    How is this level of incompetence possible?
    Does Japan lack the technology to build level storage tanks? Or to inscribe a maximum fill line in the tank otherwise?

    We are on the slow road to that goal. Colorado and Washington have started us down that path. This will be no different than the end of the Volstead Act. Open defiance of the federal law by states is what got that ball rolling as well.
