Our health as a nation should be the biggest concern. More people are going to die from health issues is one year then in probably twenty years of terrorism.
We Americans have an exaggerated sense of danger - I don't know if it's because of all the violence in our media or we're just scared.
Another thing the nobody has stated yet is the fact that these databases are NOT completely accurate. We're going to be getting a lot of false positives. We've all read about what happens to the folks who are falsely fingered and what they have to go through. Considering the inaccuracy of corporate data - that's right, that's where the TSA's data is coming from - how does one get it fixed? The TSA will just say that's what they got from the corps. If you go to the TSA's source, you'll just get the typical run around from them - "Oh, It's not our responsibility if there are errors because we get it from so and so." Or they may just blow you off. Don't believe me? Wait. This happened to a friend of mine. He couldn't get a loan because they had very old data that even the credit bureaus deleted. The bank just said "It's our policy and there's nothing to be done!"
I'll only be happy if there's a legal recourse for those wrongfully fingered and can't get the information fixed. That's right, feed the trial lawyers! But what are we supposed to do? Sit back and take it?
you know, if I were rich enough, I would send every member in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches in the Federal Governement and all of the State Governements a copy of 1984, and Fahrenheit 451 That's asuming of course that they read it. Even then, it still would be one hell of a political statement!
I don't know if this company is honest about it. The thing that made NOT purchase some online services is a line in the EULA that goes something like this:
...at any time we may change this agreement.
So basically what they're saying is "go ahead and agree to this, but tomorrow we'll change it and we'll fuck you over". So a EULA is just to get you to agree to let them change the agreement to what ever they want it to say!
You mention a basic legal fact that's often forgotten here on/.. I'm disappointed with the lawyers who are on this site for not hammering this fact into our heads...assuming that YANAL.

trial and error. He meticulously recorded his findings for all the different filaments used in his experimental lightbulbs until he got to tungston. All of his projects seemed to be directed that way.
I have never seen the Sixth Sense in the Theater or on Videeo - only on TV. The butchered for television version was so tame AND the story didn't make any sense!
This is why: In the TV version, the kid would be somewhere with Bruce, and all of a sudden, he would be looking really scared. My g.f. saw the movie and told me that he just saw some really gross dead people. I had just imagine "really gross" dead people everytime the kid looked scared. I thought the movie sucked based on the TV version.
I would be extremely annoyed if I couldn't hear you because you insisted on taking my call while you were at a concert or some other place that had a lot of noise. It also doesn't say much for your time management skills if you can't plan your recreation activites around your work.
This is all assuming that you're actually working for a Fortune 50 company and you are who you say you are.

As a recomendation - Don't use this tense in American Schools! You will loose points! I am in a program with lots of people who speak English as a second langauge. They learned English from British teachers. Well, to make a long story short, my classmate wrote a paper using this tense and lost a shit load of points. I recomended that she take it up with the professor - she didn't think it was wise. She was right not to. I challenged the prof about something and she, let's say, didn't like it. FYI, I was sweet as honey too!
I've been seeing a trend lately of adding much, much more stuff to a DVD... more than I really want. For example, "Boogie Nights". I don't want to pay $25 for the double DVD with the John C. Rielly stuff, I just want the movie and pay the $15. Therefore, they lost a sale. And no, I refuse to steal too. I refuse to give those people more ammunition to charge more for their product becuase they have to make up for piracy or whatever their reason du jour is.

Mr. AC,
You make a very valid point and imply that the censoring is controllable by the owner. I only hope that's the case.
