It's not just the knowledge. But understanding and countering the social engineering skills used by many hackers could undermine the proselytizing that many evangelicals do which use the very same social engineering techniques.
Not quite as bat-shit crazy as Scientologists. But these are the ones that believe everything can be healed by prayer. So its no wonder that scientific research into human behavior would be rejected by their members.
But then most religions are suspicious of any kind of investigation into the sanity of people who think invisible people living in the sky are talking to them.
There have been a number of aircraft ditching incidents that were more or less survivable. That's what I think of in terms of water landings. Where the aircraft enters the water in an uncontrolled manner, a crash is a crash. Hitting water is pretty much like hitting concrete.
Heed the warning to ensure that a boarding ramp is actually present at your exit first. Forget the instructions once you make it to the terminal cocktail lounge.
And the BYOD crowd. And the telecommuters, who's systems could be configured who knows how when they aren't connected to the company VPN. Or the CEO who can't figure out why he can't take his company laptop to Starbucks and download whatever the hell he wants.
Everyone is a Windows Administrator. So how well will this really work?
Most non IT people will just see the popup saying "Blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah, blah, unsigned blah blah." And click the button that says, "Make the nasty popup go away and run the neat app I just downloaded."
... willing to expose all the influence pedalling, back room deals, corruption and other assorted threats to our ideal of a fair and open market and political system.
But who will have that control? Not necessarily the CEO, but the few developers and admins that hold the passwords to the robots. If you have a Model T assembly line, odds are that if the workers revolt, you can have management (who are only a step away from the manual labor job) train some scabs and be up and running in days or weeks.
Screw with the people that control the robots and then what? Management will be helpless. Because being even a few years away from the technology means you are outdated. Good luck reprogramming a brain-dead production line when today's system and language may not have existed back when you were doing that job.
Actually, this is more of a European/British thing. In the USA, there are far fewer rstrictions about defendants making statements in the press which could sway judges and juries. It seems reasonable that judges would excuse themselves from an event where a person likely to come before them in court is given the opportunity to make statements outside the courts' rules of evidence and testimony.
In the USA, its not uncommon for an empaneled jury to be instructed not to read press statements made by parties in a trial.
since most phones don't even have the hardware connected.
On the other hand, you pretty much need to include an Fm receiver in phones sold in India. And since manufacturers don't like managing multimpel hardware configurations, I suspect that the few connections needed (like to an antenna) exist in their 'standard' hardware version.

There's got to be a Mexican food angle in there somewhere.

This could be an area worthy of study. Losing a few virtual appendages before uncrating that new table saw might be a lesson well learned.

If someone has one, they'll wear a Star Trek red shirt.
Yeah. But that 'big hair'. Sheesh!

Where would we be if Plato, Archimedes and Socrates were paywalled?
On the other hand, could we please have Sophocles sue Microsoft for misappropriation of his IP?
