Let's make one thing clear about transponders. They don't always clearly work. I say this from personal experience, when on my first solo "cross-country" flight, I was at ~1800ft ASL, and had a close call with an A10 in Korea. I had requested flight following for the flight. When I recovered from nearly wetting my pants, I got on the radio, and complained to ATC. The response?... you're flying a little low for us to see you well.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I only worked up to instrument rating), but I thought that it was based upon the pilot, not the aircraft. Can't a commercially rated pilot utilize a private aircraft for commercial purposes?
Sigh. First of all, Detroit has been run by unions, mafia, and Democrats with corrupt city government since the 60s. Is that who you're blaming? Who exactly are you pointing the finger at? Who was greedy, and got rich? Oh, and where did all that money go? Having grown up there, I think I know the answers, but I'd love to hear your side since you seem to think you know.
Maybe you could turn the rant volume down just a tad? Nobody here said what you've repeated twice now. Your going way off-topic with the anti-Libertarian whining, which has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
The only water that's actually exported is what remains in the alfalfa that's physically sent, which is a small fraction of what it took to grow it. And just to twist it a bit, how much water does it take to produce a cell phone or computer that's exported to CA, and how much water is exported with it?
A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability among adults. In 2008, close to 2 million people in the United States went to their doctors because of a rotator cuff problem.
A lot of TSA agents should learn this and not assume everyone is lying about not being able to raise their arms.
I've kept my landline purely for emergency backup. In the 32 years I've lived in this area, it's never once gone down. I've had multiple power outages, for up to a week, and the POTS system was rock solid. I'm sure that's not the case in many rural areas.
When we had the earthquake here in VA, virtually nobody's cell phones worked. I was standing in the parking lot with about a hundred people, and nobody could get through. Landlines worked through the entire event. I'd bet dollars to donuts that it's the same in nearly every crisis situation where the cell system basically gets overwhelmed.
I made no argument for the law, nor against it, only pointing out that the GP was factually incorrect. The GGP bears no responsibility if they're obeying the law. Don't like the law? Get it changed.
Remember the douchebags that leave their bluetooth headphone thing in their ear all day long, ostensibly because it's more convenient, but more of a status declaration (because frankly, how much "work" is it to either lift up your cell phone when it rings, or put in the earpiece when it rings?) to all around them?
Let's be clear, sure there are plenty of people who do that. But, let me give you an example to the contrary.
A few years ago, I was on a project that had a daily 5pm conference call, six days a week. My work day was usually over after that, but the calls would occasionally last 3+ hours. My solution? Put in the headphone. I not only no longer needed to hold the damn phone to my ear for hours on end, but I was able to drive home, and often eat dinner while still participating.
I'm often on conference calls half of my workday. Wearing the headphone allows me to do other work while listening in.
Unfortunately, the law disagrees with you. It comes down to the legal definition of "expectation of privacy". I'm not saying I like it, but that's just the way it is.

Missed Geography class, huh?
You'll never get a box certified for aircraft at $1000.

I think there are vast areas of the ocean that are not covered by RADAR. At least non-military versions of it.

That's only his pr0n collection, barely!
Let us know when it comes in t-bone, sirloin, and filet mignon.
It's a Chinese conspiracy!
Mine grows vegetables!

Your answer is wrong. It's a very uncommon form of wrong, but that doesn't mean it's not wrong.
No police officer is ever going to force you to answer their questions.
Complete and utter bullshit. I think you may have set a record...four sentences, with four complete fabrications.
Gotta love internet lawyers. Keep your day job.
Who pissed in your cornflakes?

Yes, I'm sure the article tells both sides of the story, not. Unless it has a copy of the video?
Wait, don't both get a rise out of others?
