  7. Re:Control... on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 1

    And the media are entirely complicit in this.

    Last night, my local news was pushing promos for "The Invisible Threat" "You can't see it... you can't smell it..." ... something about the new threat to flying, with the obligatory DHS/TSA spokesperson talking about "terrorists".

    Posting AC for the obvious reason, even though I'm sure I'm IP logged.

  15. Re:Won't work for the Windows version on TrueCrypt To Go Through a Crowdfunded, Public Security Audit · · Score: 4, Informative

    * We know that the distributed source generates the distributed binaries. There was an article on this (I'm too lazy to search for it).

    * This audit will vet the source so that there are no *CODED* back doors.
