Someone at the TSA should have realized that elected representatives have perks that the hoi polloi do not. In this case, Article One, Section 6, Clause 1 states,"Members of both Houses have certain privileges, based on those enjoyed by the members of the British Parliament. Members attending, going to or returning from either House are privileged from arrest, except for treason, felony or breach of the peace."
I wonder if the TSA is going to claim that Senator Paul was "breaching the peace".
They're not talking about scanning random people on the street and taking their guns. They're talking about scanning arrestees instead of frisking them. If you're getting frisked, we're no longer talking about "law abiding citizens".
Hold it right there. You are law abiding until you are convicted, not merely arrested.
Granted, they certainly could use this device to scan random people. But that's an unconstitutional search which the Supreme Court would slap the Hell out of. Remember: fear the people, not the tool.
Do you really think someone (such as the TSA) won't start using this for random scans? The Supreme Court hasn't been on the side of individual liberty lately.
Fighter pilots at least get the option of an ejection seat, so why have we dragged our heels in the dirt for so long by not finding a way for passengers of jumbo jets to survive catastrophe?
My best guess is it boils down to risk/cost/benefit.
How much does it cost to train a fighter pilot? How much does it take to train an airline passenger?
Which one spends more hours in an aircraft, and therefore, has a higher risk of accident?
Also, there are other safety mechanisms in place.
I'll spell it out for you as simply as I can. The person(s) who do something illegal should be reprimanded, retrained, or fired depending on severity. The immediate supervisor should also face the same outcome. The next higher supervisor should, at the very least, be counseled about keeping an eye on the next two or three levels down. It also depends on what any investigation (either internal to the organization or external) reveals. If those higher up are culpable or aware of a crime other unacceptable act, then they should also face the same punishment.
Those at the top of the organization set the culture and guidelines of the organization. Upper levels of Management should define and stress acceptable behavior and the HR department should be charged with ensuring that all of the employees are briefed about acceptable behaviors and applicable laws. They also have the responsibility to investigate and correct abuses.
I'm referring to the management chain of any group or individual in an organization; they should be proactive in setting the expectations for ethics and acceptable business practices. Can a CEO be all seeing and all knowing? Of course not, even many think they are. However, when this kind of thing happens, it's usually with the tacit approval of upper levels of management.
Of course not everyone in Google was aware of this, but everyone in Google should have ethics and acceptable business practices training. My employer requires every Employee to take this type of training annually regardless of where they are on the "food chain".
You should read the article that I referred to in my original post since it gives a much better explanation of the subject than I did. I agree that the Shapeways site doesn't have that much by way of utility, but it's just a small part of what's going on in the field.
There are other devices that use ceramics, metals, or plastics. There are about 30 companies that make some form of additive manufacturing device using different processes like Selective Laser Sintering, Fused Deposition Modeling, and 3D Printing. This is a new industrial revolution that's just getting started. With these devices you can make small production runs cost effective and efficient. Also, these processes produce far less waste, so they use less material and energy.
As for consumer goods, I haven't seen clothing, but there are a lot of interesting items being designed for everyday use on
Shapeways.
I've been following Additive Manufacturing since I read the article "Print me a Stradivarius" in the Economist. I expect this to be as significant as the Internet.
Marriages should not be licensed by local, state, or any government. Government shouldn't be involved with defining religious sacraments. If two people, regardless of sex and sexual preference, want to get married, then they can find whatever church/synagogue/temple/witches circle/shaman's tent that allows it and get married.
The rights that are associated with marriage such as health benefits, inheritance, etc. can be assigned in a legal agreement. Government can have what it wants (legal rights defined) and religion can have what it wants (definition of a sacrament) and they don't have to be (and shouldn't be) entangling each other over this.
No sooner does he hire a Java programmer and train him in the company's music industry niche, than the programmer is recruited away for a higher salary. Indeed, everyone on Trebino's six-person Java development team has less than one year of experience with HFA, which is the nation's leading provider of rights management, licensing and royalty services for the music industry.
There's only so long you can compromise your principles.
This is another gem,
"They are looking for much more aggressive career development opportunities and the ability to learn new things quicker," says Lily Mok, vice president at Gartner for CIO Research. "Traditionally, it took two or three years for a person to move up into the next level in an organization. They want to be on a faster track than that. They don't want to stay in one spot for more than 12 or 18 months." Even when CIOs promote 20- and 30-somethings, they often don't have loyalty to the organization, Mok says. "Don't expect them to stay with you 15 or 20 or 30 years...That's not going to happen," Mok says. "They will stay with you as long as they see certain things, including personal growth or personal value enhancement, whether that's financial reward or career aspirations. But only think about being able to retain them for two or three years. If nothing happens, they will leave after their first year of employment."
Of course Gartner has always had a gift for stating the obvious.

I don't know which is more disturbing, the fact that someone made these movies, or that there was enough interest to support two sequels.
You're not just "revolutionizing the spatula industry", you're revolutionizing manufacturing.
The US did it the old fashioned way and nearly annihilated the Native Indian population. Have you ever heard of the phrase "Carthaginian Peace"?

Destroyed, no; punished, retrained, or replaced, yes.

A subordinate's excuse is, "I was just following orders."
A superior's excuse excuse is, "I was out of the loop."
Neither is acceptable.

If you want all that, just buy this fantastic cable! The reviews explain it all.

I for one, welcome our new Brazilian gut bacteria changed mice overlords.
Or they may be shaking the money tree harder.
I've wondered who made tires for the Smart Car.
It's probably a bunch of guys sitting around, trying to "one up" each other on who can get the most outrageous patent.

Iran can even maintain prices by having exercises, missile tests, and making threats regularly. It's worked before.
If I overclock a CPU made from this would it burst into flame?
You must be new...oh wait, your UID is lower than mine, so I'll just assume you're hopelessly optimistic.
