FBI faked terror alerts to get phone records

WTF?

Freedom should be delisted from Oxford Dictionary

The meaning of freedom shoud be changed.... To what I don't know anymore. They monitor your calls, your tv habits, your shopping habits, your surfing habits, your working habits, your eating habits, medical records, driving records and so the list goes on. For how long do they plan to keep this up? To what extent will this be pushed? Parents in the US apparently have the option of 'chipping' their new borns, so they can track them down wherever they are, at any given time.

How did all the scared pansies get this far in life, and who did they have to pay to kill the competition and tweak the evolutionary chain.... They already have my data, but none of the bastards want to pay my bank loan for me.

Well, all this bullshit should technically push the unemployment rate down.... right? I mean, someone has to shovel the shit and go through all of the data they are 'reviewing'.

Reflection can be a dangerous thing?

Picture of a cartoon character reflecting a lazer beam with a small mirror comes to mind... seeing that it is a lightray/beam of light, can't it be reflected 4km back to the source with the use of a simple mirror?

PM: UK airports to get perv scanners next week

Always an unhappy employee somewhere.....

You can put all the machines you want in the airport, and it wouldn't change a thing... If some baggage handlers can get away with digging through your luggage and taking things, what stops them from putting explosives in your luggage just before take off?

All you need is one unhappy sucker from security/cleaning/luggage/cabin crew etc. and you have a hole in a billion pound system. The amount of fake passports and documents flying about the UK make it possible for suicidal wannabe's to apply for work at any airport. Should they be effective enough to get the job the scanners won't help anyone.

The high grade explosives needed for real damage can be difficult enough to get hold of. All the other bloke got was roasted nuts with the crap he was given.....
