At this time, the focus should be on moving to encrypted voice communications.
Already there (more or less). The wireless link of most cellular calls can be encrypted if the phone and base station negotiate such a connection. The problem is: cellular systems were designed with things like roaming on foreign systems and the ability to fall back to a best effort means of establishing a link. So if the 'base station' says it doesn't support some (or all) types of encryption, the call falls back to unencrypted. This is one of the tricks the Stingrays use.
Calls can be made over a TCP/IP connection (VoIP), but many systems have been designed to use a central service provider act as the key manager for encryption. And these service providers (like Skype/Microsoft) are suceptible to things like NSLs to give law enforcement a copy of the keys and/or a hook into their protocols. You could sit down and write your own peer-to-peer encryption protocol. Some already exist, but they don't have significant market share to leverge the network effect. Once an application gains these levels of popularity, it will be bought out by a major service provider. And then LE will come knocking to get backdoors installed.
All of this depends on where the lock is. If it's at a remote, unsupervised site, no lock will hold for very long. If it's a cheap padlock at the local gym, not so easy. Some techniques like raking the pins or shimming the bold are quiet enough to work. But even tapping on a lock attached to a metal locker is going to attract the attention of six MMA fighters training with the weights. Even your lookout with his gun is going to get his neck snapped for screwing with their gym bags.
I believe avionics is still exempt from RoHS rules. It was in the original regulations but the EU has removed exemptions as new versions have been adopted.
Trouble is: There are very few shops left that will do lead solder work. And if they do, the price will reflect the dedicated production tooling and handling procedures needed. Since there are no FAA or JAR requirements to use leaded solder, some avionics equipment is built on RoHS production lines.
But think of the children! How about you keep the kids from chewing on the flight controls instead?
Computer Scientists build flight software for aircraft. They have to think about things like airgaps and an insane amount of device independence, redundancy and security.
Correct. They can have their license suspended or other disciplinary action taken. Computer Scientists? What ae they going to do? Recall your diploma? Pull your MCSE* certificate?
because they think just because they are smart that they can code.
No. It's because the coding profession has no minimum competency and licensing requirements. Shitty code is; a subjective opinion and also not grounds for disciplinary action on the part of an independent licensing or certification body.
Owning cars/houses/bank accounts in your own name is for plebes.
If you are wealthy, these can all be purchased through corporate fronts. Yes, you will have to own a residence (or rent one). Because a person with some level of wealth but no residence stands out in a database. But you don't actually live there.
Many years ago, when I lived in apartments, my building had more mailboxes than actual apartments (and numbers that didn't go with actual units). The manager made a decent amount of money on the side renting them out.

they can get one from the DoJ or DHS.
But then how will the IRS conduct an investigation on the DoJ or DHS? How do you think these agencies manage to stay in power anyway?

That's odd. When my WiFi goes down, everyone else seems to get happier.
Who evaluates the board members? And who do I pay to get on it?
The education/experience requirements are set by legislation. And the board members are appointed by the governor of your state.
Plz go.
Where's Willie Sutton when they need him?

An independant licensing board.

Happy with your RoHS regulations now?

Evidently not

This is beginning to look a lot like Dante's Inferno.
Mooo?
They had to replace the "Hello world!" lesson with "Hello D block!"

Has icons to indicate secure/unsecure calls and data connections. Like when the local cops fire up their Stingray to listen in on calls.
