During my rescue diver training there was a fair amount of time spent on crowd control during an emergency. For instance an incident on a boat, on shore or in the water. How do you handle spectators? Who is responsible for what? On a boat,

I'm imagine that within 10 or 20 minutes the great firewall is nixing your cookies and rewriting your request en-route to google. The legion of internet monitors have an easier time reading your search results in chinese rather than english

Isn't this all profiling? The public is subject to taking off their shoes because the powers that be profiled a threat vector from the shoe bomber. Replace shoes with razor blades, liquids, underwear and now toner cartridges. Since when did

Oh yes, oh yes indeed. My quarrel is not so much with invasive searching but rather with blanket invasive searching of all citizens. If according to specific rules and specific guidelines a trained agent and her superior were to determine t

I hate to agree with you but I do. If I were a foreigner arriving at JFK I would be inclined to turn around and not come back. I make it a point to thank every tourist I come across for visiting. I also thank Americans from other parts of t

I've argued that the correct way to do airline safety is the way ElAl does it. The most salient argument against that is that the ElAl system will not scale. So let me get this straight, privacy stripping full body scanners and an army of i

The only airline that I know of that will absolutely not flu luggage without a passenger is ElAl. From personal experience I know that US airlines will fly your luggage without you.

The IRS? http://www.irs.gov/ . Perhaps. But this stuff is really egregious. I am not looking forward to my next flight. These new rules are really making me question whether or not I want to fly. Obviously, I won't say I will never fly aga

Uh, no. If someone punches me there really is no decision matrix in which I will not punch him back. His motivations are frankly irrelevant to me and are something he needs to work out on his own.

What happens when the terrorists put bombs in blackberrys or ipads or laptops? No more tech in your carry on? No more tech in your checked bags? Come on. This is so knee-jerk it is comical.

Unless China has eclipsed us in naval warfare, specifically submersible stealth naval warfare, then it is extremely unlikely that they could get a sub within spitting distance of our coast without us knowing about it. And even if they could

Very nice to see this. Basho is well aware of the shortcomings in Riak's m/r implementation and are working to fix that. Looks like the key feature coming to an install near you real soon is the ability to filter keys right out of your m/r
