This was an even more defenseless person. It wasn't planted on him, it was planted on his luggage after he had checked it. Who looks to make sure something hasn't been inserted among your worn clothes as you get your bag back?
Here in the USA, only the TSA may try to test TSA security. Some reporters tried shortly after the agency was established, and they were all told their reports couldn't air.
Most standard portable TV products say to receive signal they must be stationary because any movement results in packet loss. FLO TV solves this problem simply with redundant packets.
Well, CBS Radio and Clear Channel both have streaming radio apps. I've got to wonder if an HD Radio chip in the iPhone would get most of that traffic off of AT&T's network...
Okay, not quite a tilt, but the pinball machine is being rocked quite a bit to get that comparison.
Plasma TVs are practically having a going out of business sale lately because California set energy standards for TVs at just below what plasma can do. As usually happens, when California regulates something, national distributors want one product they can take everywhere so the regulation becomes a de facto national standard.
Seeing it's taking forever to get FM radio added to the iPhone, why would they want to put in a digital TV tuner of either kind? FLO TV has a prototype of an add-on device that could use the iPhone as a screen... but it's a mess of a brick bigger than the iPhone. ATSC TV on the iPhone seems kind of pointless when you can buy a $100 TV that comes with its own 7-inch screen.
Let's see... as non-cellphone devices, FLO TV costs $250 for the 7-inch LCD TV at Best Buy, and then you get 6 months free after which you pay about $15/month.
An ATSC-based portable LCD of the same size costs $100 at Best Buy, and of course has no monthly fees because ATSC is broadcast in the clear.
Now, the FLO TV product has an advantage because what you're paying for isn't just the broadcast networks, but also a few "basic cable" channels such as ESPN, CNN, CNBC, Nick, and Comedy Central. It's a case of you get what you pay for.
Not easy enough to replace the entire TSA staff at a site... you've got to run background checks on everybody who you want to hire, and that takes time. So, after a breach, you want the airport closed for a few weeks?
Well, in a "sterile" security zone, one unapproved person can ruin everything. Even if you find him/her, they may have given an weapon to somebody else who was screened earlier and passed. Yep, you've got to clear out the zone, verify there's nothing hidden, then rescreen everybody.
Why is airport security a tight wall in one direction, and a totally open path the opposite way? Shouldn't there be a gate that opens if you're exiting the airport, and creates a barrier if you are coming in from the wrong side?
Do you want to take a census vote on each item in the Federal, your state, and your city/town budget? We have to chose people who make our decisions for us, or we have a really annoying government.
You mean "fix" in the way of "We had our dog fixed," right?
See, without the uploaders of content, there's nothing to download. So, if you don't encourage or require your users to upload, you don't have a very useful P2P network.
As I joked about elsewhere... it's easy to get a positive infinite percentage of growth when you're starting at zero, you just need one. Apple has the most to lose right now because they have the largest share. The only other player in the survey to move up was Palm, and that was a mere 1% on the chart. Everybody else lost when Google moved in, which is kind of unavoidable because their percentage had to come from somewhere.
Why wasn't the graph in hard numbers rather than percents?
Seems like they're attributing this to a Motorola add campaign for the Droid, while Apple hasn't been advertising the iPhone much lately. Apple has a trend of announcing new iPhone models in mid-January and right now we're in what time of year again?
Notice that this wasn't a report of 250% sales growth... it was a report of 250% increase in a poll asking "What cell phone do you PLAN to buy?"... not quite the same thing.

You caught a pre-holiday sale that isn't available right now. Still... It does show how these things are getting better and cheaper constantly.

This is why there's a wait before the first person is let in. The staff in an airport are trained to look under every seat, etc.

1 TB data files... somebody needs to help him with the compression! Oh, wait a minute.
Only if you avoid the square routes.
They figured this out... they post some, not all of the data, and therefore survive the slashdotting.

No, if you "demand" something you want it right now. "Planning" isn't the same.
Widget frosting beats direct sales... so that's how Red Hat got bigger than Microsoft. Hey, wait a minute!

Isn't the "fastest growing" anything usually in last place?
