    Safe from what?

    I've never smoked, drank, taken drugs nor voted Republican. It's all those other people I'm scared of.....

    Thank volkris for the NEOCON/FASCIST point of view - always a necessity today.

    Whoops, I seem to recall the FAA is paid for by the ta payers...I seem to recall the ARTCC system is paid for by the taxpayers...I seem to recall the communications - and a multitude of other systems - were subsidized by the taxpayers. I also seem to recall the various airports were originally built with much taxpayer monies....

    Would tracking the 9/11 bombers have helped?

    A lot of time has passed since 9/11/01, and as a consequence the facts are getting hazier and hazier. FYI, they (CIA, FBI) were tracking the 9/11/01 bombers and didn't help worth a sh*t!

    Hey, Robaato, quit using those critical thinking skills of yours...it's obviously another security industry ploy to pump money into that industry - most likely owned by a relative to that particular government or airport owner. Unless...is there a fetish called "dot watching"??

  5. Re:Dog collars. on Airport To Tag Passengers With RFID · · Score: 1
    I suspect it's sort of like those 9/11/01 attacks. They can say (a la they switched off their transponders so it was difficult to find them with all those other aircraft) they switched their RFIDs and it was too difficult to find the terrorists among all those other dots.

    Seriously, though, I can sort of understand it because Hungarian women are quite attractive, but I sure don't want that crap in the ole USA (unless, of course, the overlords demand it....).

    Is this unique to our university?

    You neglected to mention whether it or not this private unversity is a religious school? It is not this way at the average state-level universities - certainly not up north! Is you school Trinity University perhaps? Where Karl Rove's son is at present "matriculating"?

    If so, it would seem logical that such an "institution" would employ extreme censorship. It sounds like one tremendously screwed up place. And what kind of University now employs a CIO?? Forgive me...forget I asked such a question! I keep forgetting that habeas corpus no longer exists for America...one never knows when they might be disappeared.....

    Well said, citizen salec. The "lunatic" Saddam created a secular country, where women weren't allowed to marry prior to the age of eighteen, and forced marriages were officially against the law (not always followed, but still illegal).

    Now, under the US-rewritten Iraqi constitution, pedophilia has been legalized. Now, little girls 9-years-old can be entered into forced marriages.

    Food for thought, given this Foley scandal....
