Very true. It's easy to sit in our warm chairs in a safe nation, and think that our good fortune is the outcome of our genetic superiority - When really, it's largely the product of chance.

My...

That would be Steve Schneier. His brilliance makes almost all other discussions about Airport security and anti-terrorism moot.

IPOD?

And there's the rub: Palin's both stupid, and a member of the Pentecostal death-cult. They'd love nothing more than a nuclear war to light the way for Jesus' return.

If they want to clean the place up, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to send in an "urban renewal" team to put the junkies out of their misery?

Is that cop-speak for fishing expedition?

I'm going to venture a theory: The police believe that the bomber contacted Wiebo at some point, and are pressuring him to provide information. He's refused, so they are increasing the...

My cat thinks that tinfoil wrapper is the best invention ever.

It's still just tinfoil wrapper.

Plus, it's ill-conceived. It will cause unmanageable workload, and assumes that all Muslims will be readily identifiable.

Moreso, those who actually are up to no good simply have to avoid...

Didn't watch the video, but I assume it's related to El-Al.

Security expert Bruce Schneier says that El-Al's methods won't scale to a higher-traffic airport:

WTF?

Forget the NE - Shisha Bars, next to Shwarma stands, are Arabs first choice of businesses - Plus, Arabs will be far better positioned than you for both supplies and clientele.

Consider the NE...

Canadians never appreciated that the National-Post was little more than an Israeli PR rag. Thank god it's dead.

As for AJ, I've always found it too graphic for my taste.

Although, It...

Thank goodness the American government is full of dual-citizenshipped people like "Lieberman" who do the noble service of pointing out which countries should be attacked next.

Eat shit.

The next time you're driving through that corridor of "pristine nature", why not stop your car at a random spot, and try walking 200 feet into the forest.

Enjoy the view of clearcut hillsides.

YOU CAN STOP BUYING "STUFF".

YOU CAN STOP PRENTENDING THIS IS SOME UNSOLVABLE FOREIGN PROBLEM.

As I've said before, no good can come from making friendly with the police - Best to keep them at arm's length.

If your nose is clean, you have nothing to gain by kissing up to the cops, but...

Remember, the police are your friends.

Me too. I'm not really religious, but all of the sudden, if I say "Merry Christmas", people look at me like I'm pushing Jesus on them or something.

I'm not really comfortable pushing Atheism with...

Manufacturing done for North America's hunger for "stuff".

Stop blaming the producer, and take responsibility as a consumer.

Given the nature of his offences, this guy is pretty likely to abuse any authority given, but probably not likely to go trolling the streets looking to kidnap daughters.

I don't find these...

These two statements do not compute.

By now, the predominant position of climate change denialism has shifted from "It isn't happening" to "Humans didn't do it".

Convincing this camp deniers is not enough to save us, though, for...

Ask TKRIS. He will tell you that the government says the shot is safe, and that no one has been able to prove otherwise. He gets it all the time.

Great suggestions guys - Thanks tons.

All energy production is incredibly dirty. In order to make responsible choices, we should acknowledge and weigh the tradeoffs, not try to pretend they don't exist.

A relative would like a small bag of polished stones as an xmas gift.

Anyone know where I can get such a thing?

Probably - But the producers are no more guilty than the consumers.

"Sustainable Energy - Without the hot air" - David Mackay.

This book is is a practical, hands-on exploration of whether or not the human race can survive on "renewables". MacKay seeks to take...

Global warming is better measured by rises in sea level, not by atmospheric temperatures, for the reason that increases in heat are absorbed by the ice caps, causing them to melt.

Picture the ice...

Ditto... That about exactly sums up my take.

You're losing out. The site is the cutting edge of web 1.0 technology, powered by HTML 4. They've even got a "kids" section.

$4000?

Think of how many of these poor women could be set free for just a modest sum.

OTOH, it'd probably just encourage the pricks that traffick in them.

:clap:

Terrible news. My condolences to all of the individuals and families affected.

Wow - This discussion has gone from "The police study to law to ensure they don't break it", to "The Police aren't quite sure when they've breached the law because it's so darned complicated".
...

I don't need to know anything about "Plain view doctrine or lawful placement" - I look to my own experiences to define the manner in which police do their business.

Your own assurances are...
