Interesting. I know that on most Domestic US flights, doctors, nurses, and paramedics are not permitted to open the medical bag unless their identity (and license) are confirmed by a flight medical group, and even at that, in situations whe

They do collect fingerprints from travelers -- TSA PreCheck -- but it's 100% opt-in.

Interesting. I opted out this morning. I have friends on flight crews who opt out (either by KCM or by the freedom frisk) and I haven't heard anyone in my circles complain about it on Facebook.

If you're really interested in looking more at this, look at the flightaware stats for the flights going out of KILN -- Wilmington, Ohio. Outside of a Corporate Jet going to New Orleans (R&L Carriers), it's all ABX Air traffic

I completely agree. As a society, we need to figure out who's truly dangerous and lock them up, and provide rehabilitation or community based correctional options (probation, community service, jail) to those who we're really mad

I was a public defender for a year. When I was interviewed, I was told that I'd normally do about 80-100 cases a year. During that year, I experienced true burnout around my 250th case. I took an unpaid Leave of Absence and ultimate

Unfortunately, the current criminal system requires plea bargaining to exist, because, if it didn't happen, you wouldn't have enough judges, juries, or courtrooms to handle the mess. A few years ago in California, a District Attor

Listhub has its own problems -- specifically when MLS'es update data, Listhub has to ensure that all of the applications that use its data are updating their information as well. Listhub is also one HUGE xml file that is a pain in the

Getting and keeping real estate listings up to date is a big pain in the ass. There's no standardized residential listing data, and while you might get RETS feeds or data dumps from the MLS nightly, it's still on you to ensure th

It's interesting that Intel seems to be selling off a lot of the acquisitions that they've acquired in the last few years -- first Mashery and now Havok. I wonder if this is a change of direction from Intel to go back to the chip

In 1997 Ohio (the state where I'm currently residing) passed Senate Bill 2, which largely eliminated the parole board, and introduced something called "Flat Time." In the past, the judges had a bit of leeway (based on the sta

As a country, we are imprisoning too many people. The laws are pretty clear and won't change the prison pipeline. We really need to figure out who is truly dangerous and needs to be kept off of the streets versus who we're mad at

If you're in the US and that is happening, it's a "Brand Standards" violation: the hotel can start losing reservations from Hilton if they are a franchise, and the employee can get disciplined if they are a corporate pr

Which is really interesting -- if you are a top tier Hilton member (Gold/Diamond), the front desk folks are not even allowed to ask for your ID or credit card (as long as you have a CC stored in your Hilton HHonors profile). What do yo

RedHat was the worst when it came to this. In 2007, I interviewed for a professional services position within RedHat. I had a phone screen and then three or four weeks would go by, and then the recruiter would ask me for another phone scre

To combat that, some banks are offering "Guaranteed pre-approval," but that's the bank underwriting the loan during your pre-approval paperwork, so that you can close in 72 hours as long as the titles clear.
