Because whatever idiot came up with the idea of having your toothbrush, comb, shaving gear exposed to the same air as your toilet had never heard of germs or fluid dynamics.

But as there are legal reasons to do this, so they did not make it illegal to do. Instead Congress (and he was a member of Congress at that time) made it illegal to do one WITHOUT notifying the government.

He failed to comply with the law he himself had voted on. He broke the law and he, among all people, clearly deserves to go to jail for doing so.

They saw their own extinction coming - it wasn't that hard to detect the meteor - and began a secret government project to breed themselves into small, flying creatures.

Only way they could think of to survive.

I guarantee you that when whoever replaced Osama Bin Laden wants a Surface to Air Missile, he gets one. Probably a lot easier than it is for him to get suicidal people to board an airplane.

Zoom in on the picture and you can see that his right arm is down by his side. The elbow is WAY out of frame, it should be close to where the light gray progress bar turns dark gray.

If a terrorist wants to blow up a plane, they use a Surface to Air Missile from just outside the airport.

If they want to hijack a plane, it won't work anymore because the doors are heavily locked - any explosive capable of opening the cockpit door will crash the plane.

The routinely miss liquids - water, suntan lotion, etc. I traveled with someone that packed suntan lotion in a carry on bag and they missed it. They found and took the blade out of his safety razor, but missed the suntan lotion.

Even their own original studies claim that any benefit is far exceeded by the cost. The basic rule for MOST government agencies is if the cost exceeds $1 million per life saved, don't bother - smoke detectors cost $210,000 per life saved. http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/~tedb/Courses/UCSBpf/readings/interventions.pdf

But the TSA argues they should be allowed to spend $10 million per life saved - and admit they actually cost $180 million per life saved. https://www.schneier.com/blog/...

Their budget should be cut to 1% of what it currently is, that way we will only be spending twice what we spend on other industries to save lives.

If he has a good lawyer, they will probably settle, agreeing to have his record wiped clean and drop all charges in exchange for him not suing for money.

Trials are expensive.

2) If they don't give you a real promotion in 3-5 years, then they never will - but another company will give you the promotion. Make contacts.

3) Finding a place where you are happy is worth more than that promotion or the extra money.

I am glad because I think his wife would very likely be DEAD if this angry idiot had not been sent to prison.

I think his wife's continued life is in fact an improvement of the situation.

I also think that this guy will most likely be better off now - with a conviction that was overturned by SCOTUS - and enough time for him realize that maybe keeping his dumb mouth shut would benefit him than he would have been if he had been convicted of another actual crime of physical violence, that he so clearly was heading towards committing.

That said, after reading what this moron actually posted on Facebook, I am glad he spent his time in prison, even if the Judge gave the jury 'poor' instructions.

He certainly sounds like the kind of angry idiot that was (and probably still is) dangerous.

(Please Putin, don''t feed my baby to the dingoes) )

But on the other hand a lot of the illnesses associated with old age are caused by TIME, not by aging. Plaque in the arteries is caused by decades of poor eating habits, not by elderly cells.

Most importantly, aging is in fact a defense against cancer - it prevents cells from reproducing without limits. In fact, some people think that the only reason we ever evolved the process of aging was to stop cancers. Worse, it is cause again by long term exposure to gene altering effects, not natural aging.

I agree that certain disease would vanish, butt others would become far worse. A major risk is that the age reversal process still leaves us with the same risk of seniality. It could very well be that the human mind simply has so much memory available once it is filled up, we are out of luck

2. But there are some real effects. Social Security will vanish - no more quitting your job merely because you are old.

3. The real question is what to do with criminals - should we let someone with a life sentence in prison get life extension drugs? What if they are rich? What about long sentences like 70 years? What about people that get out of prison after 10 or 20 years - do we ever wipe their criminal record - what if they've been good for 60 years, should they suffer another 100 years of no job prospects merely because they made one mistake before they were 80

And then there are the mentally disadvantaged. Not just crazy people, but down's syndrome and severely autistic and similarly impaired people. If their parents are dead, will anyone take care of them? Must we give them life extension just to institutionalize them for centuries?
