Re: WTF?

According to my old boss, I have 71% attendence (5/7). That's the reason why they don't like giving reasonable amounts of vacation time.

I've identified a UFO

A few years back, a elderly co-worker assured me that he saw 4 UFOs circling in the sky. I thought he might be going senile, but then I saw them myself -> a car dealership aimed 4 floodlights into the sky and had them circle in unison.

I still have no idea why.

Re: Where in "keep and bear arms" does it say anything about them not being attached to an aircraft?

So what you are saying is the 2nd amendment is only applicable if you are touching the weapon? I haven't heard that interpretation before.

It also doesn't seem quite relevant, since a reasonable argument can be made that you are holding the control device for the drone, therefore bearing the drone.

Re: Need more court challenges

Somewhat similar story with a friend of mine: She is a physicist who flew in from India to attend a symposium on NMR. When they heard that she was here for something "nuclear", she was held for a number of hours as the TSA went up the chain trying to figure out what to do. Eventually, they called in an expert, who started laughing when they claimed she was here to steal nuclear secrets, and she was allowed in without further incident.

Meta-Information

If the police ask you whether you have control/access to a device, you can plead the fifth. If they ask you for passwords, you no longer have that right. This seems inconsistent to many people.

Re: No Warrant Required

This is completely false.
