Police and private parties might use a passive device at their own discretion.
The case of Kyllo v. United States "held that the use of a thermal imaging device from a public vantage point to monitor the radiation of heat from a person's home was a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and thus required a warrant." Presumably the ruling would hold true for other forms of electromagnetic radiation as well, such as radar.
The only reason it's not political suicide is because he's in New York's 3rd Congressional District, which is on Long Island. Long Island and New York City are much more liberal than most of the state. New York is only a "blue state" because the city vastly outnumbers everyone else, a fact that many people up in Central and Western NY generally resent. Nearly anywhere north of the city and he'd be tarred and feathered in about five minutes.
And when you add the euphemism treadmill you get a giant mess. First you call people who can't walk "lame", but that's insulting, so you say "crippled". But eventually that is labeled "incorrect", so you switch to "handicapped", then "disabled", then "physically challenged", then "differently abled"! What's next? "Specially embodied"? "Uniquely limbed"?
[_] That is the most odious and obscene collection of insults and violations of universal taboos any alien race has ever sent our way. Prepare to die, earth scum! We will be avenged!
With luck their entire battle fleet, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, will be accidentally swallowed by a small dog.
It is a crime in the United States to even view an image of Child Pornography.
So if one were to, under cover of night, replace a billboard along a major road with child porn, would they have to arrest everyone who drove past it during rush hour the next morning?
Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Since when does giving your phone number to someone constitute agreement to a financial transaction? Be careful, gents! Don't give your digits to that hot girl at the bar. The fine print on her shirt commits you to a 2 year Playboy subscription for $19.97 plus $7.92 delivery!
I think you mean that the robot we send out to "seek out new life" collides with another probe designed to "collect and sterilize soil samples", and they end up going off to "seek out and sterilize new life". Don't worry too much about that. Captain Kirk will take care of it.
Most flu vaccines are inactivated. On the other hand, "live attenuated influenza vaccine" is reduced in virulence but still "alive", and "may cause an infection with complications in people with weakened immune systems or other underlying medical conditions."
I honestly don't know for certain, and I'd really like to hear from someone who knows more about cellphone protocols, but I'd imagine that voice uses a UDP-style protocol and texting uses something like TCP, so if any of the text packets get dropped due to low signal it can keep sending until they get through.

Speaking of which, I'll bet the phishers aren't doing so well in this economy. Sounds like somebody needs a bailout!
At this point we should probably just keep all children in locked boxes until they reach 18. Not for their protection, but for ours.

Mission accomplished, then. Kudos all around.

If only we could mod the GP "-1 Creepy".
But what about heart? Without heart you don't get Captain Planet!
Vegemite.
It's funny because both words involve boobs.

To paraphrase the GP, once we're boycotting all the products that have been produced by the Chinese, what products are left?
Honestly I'd love to hear more of those. They're super-interesting, and it's always good to have more ammunition against the ID crowd.
Did you see in the article when the guy who designed the dome said "you could grow tomatoes all year-round". I got a laugh out of that.
Covering your city in domes sounds like a good idea, until everybody loses their memory and you get attacked by giant robots.

On one hand Microsoft constantly wastes centuries of manpower.
On the other hand, since corporations are essentially immortal, Microsoft has an infinite number of life hours left...
What? No film?
Maybe it's a similar effect to one of the conclusions from "A prompt plus delayed contingency procedure for reducing bathroom graffiti". When a space is well taken care of maybe people unconsciously realize that someone's paying attention to the space and act accordingly.

No, just your seed.
