Submission + - Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges at Natanz?

Submitted by AffidavitDonda
AffidavitDonda writes: In late 2009 or early 2010, Iran decommissioned and replaced about 1,000 IR-1 centrifuges in the Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) at Natanz, implying that these centrifuges broke. Iran’s IR-1 centrifuges often break, yet this level of breakage exceeded expectations and occurred during an extended period of relatively poor centrifuge performance.

Although Iran has not admitted that Stuxnet attacked the Natanz centrifuge plant, it has acknowledged that its nuclear sites were subject to cyber attacks.

What I'm seeing is that using certain keywords will attract people to your site. What a discovery! If only someone had figured this out a decade ago we could have, I don't know, some sort of "engines" to help us with our searches for stuff that interest us.

Submission + - American Traveler Dignity Act (govtrack.us)

Submitted by agristin
agristin writes: The American Traveler Dignity Act may finally roll back some of the ridiculous "security measures" performed by the TSA at airports across the United States. In the introduction to the bill covers two large objections to the way the TSA handles screening- 1) if the elite, like congress, were to be subjected to these screenings the TSA would be rolling back these measures and 2) the security measures are more invasive and allow less personal liberty than travelling behind the now defunct iron curtain. The Transportation Security Administration rolls up under the Department of Homeland Security in the United States.
