Keep it off/in a faraday bag at all times, never turn it on at home. Go to elsewhere to set it up.

If they REALLY want you, you will get got.

But there’s no reason to make it easy.

No.

There is no search warrant for the contents of your mind.

Of course “rubber hose decrypt” is always an option, but we’re not quite there yet.

Honestly I am quite happy with better air travel security and safety, and not particularly interested in going back to a time when any random Greek anarchist assholes or PLA or whatever are stabbing flight attendants or sticking bombs on Pan Am flights

You sound too young to remember, so read up a little.

Here’s something that popped up on the first page of results

Obviously I am US-centric. This is a thread about voting in US elections (??)

I do happen to fly to UK, and generally to LBA or MAN, which are easily two of the worst / most annoying airports in Europe.

Both of them have made great improvements over the past ~18 months though.

CDG is also particularly annoying imo.

I’d do more than that

Disband DHS. This agency was never required and was created merely as a knee-jerk to the information sharing problems that contributed to how 9/11 turned out.

Ironically, the majority of those problems were actually between the FBI and CIA and DHS has no authority over either — that role was handled to the also-newly-created Director of National Intelligence (DNI)

Sooooo we never needed the orwellian DHS in the first place

Abolish ICE, HSI and CBP*. The the other constituent agencies carry on as they did before 9/11 and leave the LE/intelligence coordination to the DNI

*Some folks would love to see ATF go, others want the end of TSA

To be fair, it is. I also kept a Clear membership for a few years, but it wasn’t worth it.

But, non-pre lines are just as short as pre-check these days, and my (non-science) impression is that the only reason it’s slower is that more of the folks in it are unfamiliar with the process.

But messaging/signage for what’s required is quite good in most places, and it’s still much less confusing than 80s and 90s airports.

How so?

I fly enough to hit “gold” status on major airlines, and have seen the transition from the shit-show that was TSA initially into a universally smooth and fast process.

I think a lot of people don’t truly know the chaos that was pre-TSA screening. Do you recall being stuck in an aircraft at the gate, because the airline had to unload luggage for a passenger that hadn’t boarded?

For a long time after 9/11 the only airport operating smoothly was DCA (Congress uses DCA)

But for the last dozen or more years, things have only gotten smoother, everywhere.

I passed through JFK screening in less than 22 minutes a few weeks ago.

Nah, typical 2A “enthusiasts” care a lot more about whether that person was carrying a firearm legally, under whatever applicable laws. In some states, that is no law at all. In MN, it’s a permit.

Granted, a lot of Republican gun owners would make a racially biased assumption that a Somali migrant is less likely to have a proper permit, and those same folks have a lot more benefit-of-doubt for fellow white males.

But, in my lived experience as a strongly left-leaning person embedded quite deeply in US gun culture, all of those folks would see themselves in the shoes of any man, of any race, in Pretti’s situation.

You might not think that’s any better than a racial bias, because it’s an in-group bias.

The trick to getting people to be outraged about your murder hasn’t much to do with being black or white or brown

It’s mostly about the murder being on-camera, from multiple angles, filmed by people and released to public scrutiny immediately

As well as it being very extremely clear that it was an unnecessary killing, a deliberate murder.

So, if you’re gonna get killed next week, please make sure there are plenty of witnesses with cameras all around you.

Aah I see in the footer. Thanks

Where does this say that this tradeshow is DHS/Law Enforcement related?

I see no information beyond that of the company

Could be a funeral industry show for all we know?

You’ll get your wish starting late Jan 2027

Genuinely funny

Nice.

Honestly, looks better than I’d expect.

Figured it would be a literal urinal. Is it just like this for special occasions? Or is it guarded otherwise year roun

yes

Yea it it’s really too bad this guy wants to eat

Does an invasion/attack by one NATO member trigger an Article 5 response against that country by the remainder of NATO?

I am sure that this scenario has been imagined before (ahem Greece v. Turkey)
