It sounds pretty fascist to shitcan someone like that
In a right to work state in the US, you do not need a reason to be fired. (I'm skipping around protected classes here for simplicity)

It is nice to pick international system units, however it would be better to do it right. This should be km/h, not kph.
Do you mean units of km/h like TFA uses?
Phone support techs in faraway lands read scripted lines like "your modem is at end-of-life".
Well I had Comcast inject HTML into my http stream in order to tell me that my DOCSIS 2 modem was not going to be supported and that I needed to upgrade. I got a pop-up appearing when I viewed a non-comcast website, telling me that I had to upgrade (and yes I have a screen cap of that popup)
I believe that they were really hinting that I needed to update my perfectly fine DOCSIS 2 modem to a DOCSIS 3 modem purely for their benefit and were using text like
Your modem will no longer be able to operate on comcast's network
Even though their website says that DOCSIS 2 modems work.
That is going to make for a very large and weird collection of skills.
I assume my email transits the internet in the clear regardless how I send it so I am having a hard time getting angry about this.
For a previous job I was working onsite in a different country to my home office. For what ever reason my boss had pissed me off, so when he said he was going to email details of a salary increase I decided to yank his chain and played the "email isn't secret, and anyone could intercept it" card just to see what hoops he would jump through in order to "securely" send me this "sensitive" data.
His solution was to send me two emails. The first email had a password protected zip file that mentioned that the salary details were inside. The second email stated that the password for the zip file was "the company name backwards". Both emails of course being sent from the company domain. Given how brain-dead his solution was I concluded that I had got my monies worth from that stunt.

No way
I fell for the dicevertisment again
Any corporate executive traveling will have encrypted communications from their company as a matter of course.
This post is nothing but a weak attempt at Kaspersky marketing.
I just read this on the weekend: The icky part of tech support: Porn and other NSFW surprises
Which has a wonderful bit of text in it:
In a survey published last year by software vendor ThreatTrack Security, 40% of tech support employees said they'd been called in to remove malware from the computer or other device of a senior executive, specifically malware that came from infected porn sites.
Would you care to revise your opinion of corporate executives?
If you really cared, you could store a key of some kind to validate the certificate.
Congratulations
But I will give you that the hash technique would be useful for anonymous validation licenses.
If there's any question about their age, they present the certificate.
And how do you validate the certificate if there is no record of its existence?
They are going to care if the girl is underage, aren't they?
Nope
You don't need to maintain dancers' license records to check someone's age.
So who is doing the checking? The strip club doesn't care who dances as long as money comes in. At least with licensing you can have some sort of auditing.
You can perform background checks without the need for a government issued license.
So who is performing this background check? If not the government, then the strip club? Because if the girl is bringing in money the strip club isn't going to care.
Seriously: who or what interest does the state imagine it is "protecting" with this license? It isn't there for practical purposes, it's there for the purposes of intimidation and control.
How about keeping underage girls out of strip clubs? That would be something reasonable to achieve?
Love makes the world go 'round, with a little help from intrinsic angular momentum.
