It apparently is smart enough to know where the individuals are sitting and makes accommodations for that. Rather than requiring an individual to sit in a particular place like all the other systems like this do.
What about Wii head tracking (Google is your friend)?
SCOTUS justices serve "during good behavior," not for life, so if the bribes are egregious enough, well...

Not suing is setting a precedent that you can sell, literally, Apple branded merchandise without Apple's involvement.
But the same company is, literally, already doing that!
Father? FATHER??
He is our freaking GOD!
How dare you mock us!
...no relation to Lord Xenu then?
This assumes that the cabin crew counts the knives when collecting the refuse. Otherwise, the terrorist can just palm it and wait for everyone else to be disarmed.
Simple, don't collect the knives until the plane is on the ground!
From TFA I think (and this is Google Translate so I don't trust it) the prof. was talking about, you know, cash, not money in general (i.e. everything would happen using credit cards and such).
And yes, I'm quite aware of Douglas Adams and your joke. It's just that it's not relevant. The professor is not suggesting a transition to a Star Trek (non)economy, he's just saying not to bother with physical currency.
Market manipulation is the opposite of capitalism.
(*) It should be noted that the USG has steadfastly avoided violating the 3rd amendment, and should certainly be commended for its restraint in this matter.
This is false (unless "USG" specifically means the Federal government -- I would argue that state governments are just another level of the U.S. Gov't)
ObTopic: Demanding passwords is evil!
Nice feature if you are in a train or on a bus.
If you have GPS you can detect whether the device is on a highway or road
And how long do you think it would take for sites to appear with hacks for every phone to disable this?
That doesn't affect Joe Sixpack who couldn't jailbreak his iPhone by going to jailbreakme.com and touching the button, much less use such a hack.
it's arguably more retarded. however, both ideas are extremely retarded, so it's not even worth arguing.
Actually it's not since the phone's self-disabling could itself be disabled if the user is trying to call an emergency number (911 isn't the only such number).
So the best thing they could do for secuity is have a fast low impact search that screens most reasonable threats (x-ray bagage and any bulky/loos fitting coats should do, maybe a meatal detector, and a chemical bomb sniffer) and doesn't generate large crouds of people waiting.
That's funny, the TSA has basically said they have no idea how to deal with that problem... well, I'm sure we can trust these unelected TSA officials, they must know exactly what they're doing!
RTFA, that doesn't match the description of what was happening at all.
Let the Streisand effect begin!
I thought matter/antimatter represents a different symmetry to time reversal?
Actually, it doesn't, believe it or not!
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
