I'm sure Air Force One has this figured out, security is hard... when there is acceptable failure rate.

Or maybe the panopticon wasn't constructed for our benefit. Random SWAT raids are good training and also pacify the population. Probably even polls well

Doesn't mesh with the agenda of having puppet governments in that region, it's really an offensive war, so you become the enemy just by buying the plane ticket, which is why it's now a crime punishable by decades in prison

They can't, the population in Europe is collapsing, and the Muslims are the only ones willing and able to migrate to that shithole.

15mph in a motorcycle is trivial compared to 15mph over in a tractor trailer. There is a reason why motorcycle insurance is dirt cheap--the major claim will be on the rider's life insurance.

As if entombing someone alive is some kind of humanitarianism. If justice is miscarried simply execute the witness, prosecutor, and/or judge.

It's at least as easy for women to buy a gun. It's also at least as irrational to continue your life as to terminate it, though it's true there usually aren't solid arguments either way, which is why people generally do neither

Firstly, this scheme will only if the police are allowed to maintain their extensive facial recognition database that includes millions of innocent people. There has been some outrage over this database, that they were told to shut down, and which is unregulated.

As if the database can ever be shutdown when everyone obediently lines up to photographed ("don't smile, computers don't like it")

She's an opportunist, would fit in as a Communist commissar, Goldman Sachs executive, or even better, royalty. Most Party operatives are the same kind of grifter. That a housewife inheriting a position is supposed to be an icon of female accomplishment demonstrates that the ideology itself is a scam.
