Does the FCC actually have the authority to do this? Won't they be slapped down again?

Probably had some flunkies hide all the plastics and mess up some sand. I'm also willing to bet that those brave volunteers willingly had their gelsacs pierced to preserve the secret.

It's the supernova, because there's no way that NASA could know about it in advance!

Apologies to dsinc. It's not his wording. It's the AP's wording. TFA uses "hidden".
I thought the same thing... I mean, no other payloads EVER get covered by an aerodynamic fairing. Must be a BIG CONSPIRACY!!!!

If your boot partition is encrypted, and you can't boot without entering the password, it's harder to put a trojan or a keylogger on the system.
Try again, loser. CA pays the feds quite a bit more than it gets back. *WE* are paying to support *YOUR* failed state.
Now we have to worry about the Vegan Tyranny. Also the interstellar empire of the same name. Bloody vegans, always trying to take away our bacon!!!!
