The right to travel is basically saying the government doesn't have a right to lock you into one position not allowing you to move by any means you have available to you.
Citation needed.
Also, if right to travel doesn't pertain to means of transportation, what if the government said private jets were now the only vehicle you could legally travel in? Wouldn't that prohibit our right to travel freely? Or are you going to pretend a person could walk from LA to NY in any amount of time considered reasonable in the 21st Century?
You don't have a right to be able to afford anything.

Why the hell did troy have a seat on the bridge? A psychic psychiatrist on the bridge...
Yea, right? I mean, what military commander/diplomatic ambassador would want to have a bitch who can read minds sitting shotgun? How useful could that be?
Jackass.
Not that I disagree with the premise, but it's important to note that some people don't have access to busses nor horses (which, take it from the voice of experience, are really hard to park without being hassled), and cabs are too expensive... but they do own a car.
If we had kick-ass, Euro style public transit all over America, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. But we don't.

Isn't the risk of death from any cause 100%? At least for us mortals?
That just made my morning, ha.
Did you read the part where it also erased his backups?
I think the moral here is, don't leave your backup drive plugged in when you're not running backups.
OTOH, running it on an SeLinux system would probably contain the damage.
