scoove,
I need to learn more about your choice of education. I'm in infosec, being paid very well, and without going into great detail, I have a medical degree. What would you suggest?

OK, now I'm really confused. Your exemplary checklist is the way it should be, however, how did it work in the Branch Davidian / David Koresh case, which in fact may be more of the norm.
"...Criticism of federal law enforcement actions at Waco has not been in short supply...Missing from the discussion of how the federal government handled the Waco disaster is how the government got into the problem in the first place. In particular, how and why did the government procure the search and arrest warrants which the BATF was attempting to "serve" with its unsuccessful raid? A careful study of the Waco search warrant reveals numerous flaws, not just with the warrant application but with search and seizure law as it has developed in the 1990s."
"...The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures....However, the government can abuse the Fourth and Eighth Amendments to undercut the Second...
...A review of the evidence the BATF put forward to justify its first search warrant indicates that the case it had against Koresh was based more on his views than his actions......David Koresh had what most of us would consider strange religious views. However, there is no federal death penalty for believing oneself to be Jesus Christ. Koresh and his people owned firearms--more than one, in fact. There is nothing illegal about that. David Koresh didn't think much of the BATF. That appears to have been a crime....
...That this is the last charge made in the affidavit prior to the raid should be an alarm to every law-abiding gun owner. According to the BATF, it is suspicious for a citizen to believe in the right to bear arms, be knowledgeable about firearms laws and own video tapes critical of the BATF. If this is grounds for a search warrant to be served by an army, the rest of us had better step lightly...."
One of the things I've learned from traveling to 20 different foreign countries and living in about 10 of them over the last 25 years, is that democracy DOES NOT work in every country.
For whatever reason, some people prefer the strong hand of a dictator. Some people prefer a democratic solution, and some people prefer socialism.
To have the arrogrance to dictate that everyone wants or is better off as a democracy is committing the very thing you despise.
There are geographic, sociological, as well as biological reasons for the various political systems around the world.
It is high time we in the West get off our high horse, and let the rest of the world deal with their own countries as they see fit.
North Korea, China, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq et al are not the way they are because ONLY one person acting ALONE got them into their current political system. A lot of people were/are involved, including the complicity of the general population.
Even though I'm not a big fan, I'll easily pay 25 cents just to see what the buzz is about.

How many companies are stationed in Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, etc... perhaps a tiny fraction of the total number of US companies are there.

Waco Search Warrant

Is a Search Warrant Your Death Warrant

A security clearance is the closest thing to lifetime guaranteed employment that I know of.
So you need to borrow a quarter or what?
