I didn't say they were. I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to track your withdrawals as long as they can legally confiscate the money you withdraw, no evidence of a crime needed.

It prevents the gov't from conducting nonrandom searches of your car to seize your cash they know you just withdrew.

Good thoughts. Our own government couldn't be trusted with this today. The US has a recent history of thwarting and toppling democracy, ignoring our Constitution while supporting oppressive governments.

Try transporting $50,000 of cash within the US--if you get caught, the money is confiscated. In the US, no conviction is required to confiscate presumed drug cash. The police dept. gets to spend it.

If it's US cash it's safe. Non-US currency that can be shut down by the US without major penalty to the US is not safe. Even a small proportion of illicit transactions will suffice for pretext. Bitcoin's best bet is to become widely used as

This is clearly a shot across Bitcoin's bow. A future takedown of Bitcoin (indirectly, via exchanges) will likewise be illogically blamed on illicit transactions.

So would I; I can't find it. Here's a fact sheet that reports the 87% but doesn't clarify on suspension vs. expulsion: http://www.nasponline.org/resources/factsheets/zt_fs.aspx

Not all schools have a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol. I've read it's only 87% that have it. Search for: The tough disciplinary policy in Fairfax County public schools is not one of “zero tolerance,” officials there say.

If a joint or flask falls out of the teen's backpack while in the counselor's office, they get arrested and expelled, if everyone's following the policy. But yes maybe they can get away with admitting they are using.

Two assumptions to be clarified in the interview: 4th question above doesn't apply to the top boss (who can't have a greater salary than a boss he/she doesn't have, so no issue on the 1st question). Department table has an alternate key on

On the first and fourth queries you don't need LEFT JOIN because the WHERE clause guarantees that only INNER JOIN rows will match. (Presumably neither question applies to the top person.) On the third one you don't list all departments; the

The system is designed so that each crime breaks multiple laws, and the laws are easily broken. Keira Wilmot faced multiple felonies, for example. She broke the law when she didn't immediately report her crime to the authorities.

I was once tasked with hiring some developers. HR used filtering software, so every candidate had C++ on their resume even though we didn't need that. Out of curiosity I asked each candidate a simple C++ question. Not one had a clue.

It's an issue with all public schools, except maybe in rural Iowa (see below). I don't like it but it is good training for life.

I'm not positive but very confident. These surveys are not anonymous, says the article. School administrators are required to adhere to the zero tolerance policy to the letter.

I've hounded my kids on "the expected answer" many times. Recently my son was told to write an essay on gun control. I shudder to think what might've happened had he not given the expected conclusion on that one.

Per the school's zero tolerance policy, students who reveal alcohol or drug use are expelled at no risk to the school. I don't agree with their method but it is pretty simple.

Good to know another silver lining to global warming. The downsides are well documented and scary. But since an even warmer planet is so likely now, I'm just as interested in the advantages.
