It's one thing to joke about politics, it's another to make the politics into a joke.
I think the folks in the US have been doing this for the past 25 years or so..... Ronald "Raygun" Reagen,
Arnold "Terminator" Schwartznegger, Clint "Make my Day" Eastwood, Sonny "The Nose" Bono...... and of course my favorite
George "Cokehead/Alchoholic" Bush and his Merry Men/Brother , you just could not make this stuff up.
Quite simple... From the article
Thomas S. Luedtke, said revealing the findings could damage the public's confidence in airlines and affect airline profits.
This is an election year(s). The same boys that control the music bus control the television, radio, music, magazines and newspapers. Figure it out. The politicians now work as much for these slimebags as they do for their normal masters. Do not expect justice, just terrorism as they enact the smash and grab tactics of the last 20 years. These guys know it is crumbling and are just grabbing as much as they can before they cut and run leaving the moron sheeples behind to wonder what went wrong.
However RFID and wood do not always get along very well, especially when the wood gets wet.
But it does pretty well. We have a project where we have attached tags to reuseable fruit bins
and this has also worked well, with the exception of the wet wood scenario.
I suppose that my point is that where bombs are concerned where do you put your security checks. All points will require amassing large groups of people so that the bomb goes off in a different location but is still effective. Look at Iraq and Afganistan this weeend. I think they have pretty good measures in place.Planes not mattering is my guess with trespect to the various groups seeking to instill fear. An airport terminal is probably just fine. They are not trying too kill you dumb ass, they are trying to fuck up your life. And listening to you they have succeeded.
I did not say do away with the checks, but remember the original plot that you are thinking of (planes/towers) had no bombs, and the use of other pointy objects (plastic could well have been employed). They got away with it because everyone thought they were going to spend a day or so on a runway somewhere.
With respect to flying planes into buildings, wont probably happen again. Was just bizaar enough to get away once. People went along and all. Next time not so good for hijackers. Not to mention that access to flight deck is a bit more difficulct these days.
But go ahead, scare the shit out of yourself and waste your life living in a security blanket. You will be no safer and have a hell of a lot less fun. Having lived through much worse than this shit in the past (Rhodesia,Kinshasa 70's / 80's ) where bombs were frequent as well as the slaughter, mutilation and burning of entire villages, your fears sound and look a bit strange. We just went about our business, armed and aware and purposeful, but with the understanding that we would not let the bastards beat us.
Just remember, it's all about fear (terror), that is why they are called terrorists.
You can not fight someone who is going to blow themselves up. I would think that airplanes probably no longer matter. If you get through fine, if not blow yourself up in a crowded terminal. Probably get more folks that was as well.Especially when so many virgins and good shit is at stake.
The chance of getting blown up (even if you believe the shit ol w and the ol boys say about all the foiled plots) is still less than traveling by car.
The bin men in SF would not work for that. When I lived there the private firms were doing the job and those guys all owned rental property. Not the owners, the dustmen. They all seemed to be Italian as well.....
Actually accounts are not really all that positive. As much as i hate to use it as a reference but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Myanmar#British_rule
A wave of strikes and protests that started from the oilfields of central Burma in 1938 became a general strike with far-reaching consequences. In Rangoon student protesters, after successfully picketing the Secretariat, the seat of the colonial government, were charged by the British mounted police wielding batons and killing a Rangoon University student called Aung Kyaw. In Mandalay, the police shot into a crowd of protesters led by Buddhist monks killing 17 people. The movement became known as Htaung thoun ya byei ayeidawbon (the '1300 Revolution' named after the Burmese calendar year)[2], and December 20, the day the first martyr Aung Kyaw fell, commemorated by students as 'Bo Aung Kyaw Day'.[3]
I seem to remember that Burma has somewhere around 0.7% of easily reclaimable oil. Cant find the figure at the moment.
NB They also have a shitload of Opium.
Theft by employees can be handled by risk management. It is an industry as opposed to a political machine
I was thinking of. In a sense the bank could skim off a bit and many do, through overzelous charges and
mis calculation of interest. This has been a problem for a long time and a good example of the outcome
can be found here http://www.financemarkets.co.uk/2007/09/12/lloyds-tsb-commences-bank-charges-war/
and has resulted in the creation of several new services like this one http://www.bankcharging.co.uk/.
When elections are rigged YOU control the regulatory machinery which would normally be used to combat the wrong,
this is not the case in commercial situations to such a degree.If someone steals a bit of your cash you can probably recover it.
If on the other hand someone steals an election your life may be ruined by the policies of those elected. A few good examples at present come to mind...
The stakes are far greateer and the players are far sleazier. In bank and trading scenarios there really is not much incentive as the folks controlling each link in the chain benefit by providing a good service over a long term. Politicians often have only one chance in a lifetime.
If you think this is bad what about one of their own....

Here's a great link from the Federation of American Scientists. http://www.fas.org/butler/
The Butler case makes this look good.
When are you folks gonna get off your asses and set it straight again... at least minimize this bullshit.
This case is also old but the poor guy only recently got out of jail. Bankrupt, jobless and lost medical liscense.
All over technicalities in paperwork and contract disputes (previously civil matters).
All I know is that I sure as hell will not be going to the ol USA for anyconferences or anything for a long long time, and most of my collegues feel the same.
A series of very unfortunate events bestowed on the FBI a reason to investigate Steve Kurtz.
They found material critical of corporate capital and its uses of science, and, where relevant,
of U.S. policy.
Like most politically motivated people, for Kurtz the point of producing such material was to publish it;
the FBI could have found the same material in many places had they been looking, because its legality is
a cornerstone of our society.
We don't know if CAE was already being monitored, but circumstances put them under the government's scrutiny
as could happen to any of us. Given the excuse and the complete authority to investigate every aspect of
Kurtz's life, the U.S. Justice Department found a minor, noncriminal irregularity on which, as has become the form,
they pinned criminal charges .
It is not conspiratorial to say that the charges also serve the right wing agenda, including the maintenance
and enforcement of divisions of knowledge and everharsher penalties for intellectual property violations,The prosecution does not have to articulate the goals of
the system even to itself; everything is already in place.

I do believe the name Burma came from when the British were the murders who had stolen the country and ruled over it for all those years.
But when the HP 35 came out things shure got a bit easier....
