With a Boeing-designed energy force-field, of course.

It would bias the police's interests in funding their department with fines, as they often do in the US, towards stopping and arresting RICH people for one, since they would be paying the greater numerical fines. It might give the rich a bit of a taste of equality, for once... ...so naturally, they will resist implementation of 'day-fines'.

All the more reason to implement them immediately.

Then he added, in an afterthought: “Wonder if the computer’s finished its run. It was due about now.”
Chuck didn’t reply, so George swung round in his saddle. He could just see Chuck’s face, a white oval turned toward the sky.
“Look,” whispered Chuck, and George lifted his eyes to heaven. (There is always a last time for everything.)
Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.

After my siblings and I lost our mom prematurely, the thing that we have struggled with the most is missing all the stories she had in her head... about our early years, of course, but also about different stages of things in our lives - sequences of events, or tales of lesser-known relatives. Happy memories of us that she had & liked to recall... Silly stores that made *her* laugh... that warmed *her* heart... We will never be able to get those now that she's passed over. We've been able to reconstruct some details between us, but HER stories - anything she never wrote down - are gone forever now.

I humbly suggest to not be a "Dad" and "tell" her stuff, but instead share the stuff that makes you happy & joyful to have known her & cared for her while you did.

And,.. you have my condolences, you are in a difficult situation. All the best to you and yours..

...comes ultimate responsibility. And these guys have done /nothing/ if not prove themselves ultimately responsible.

That said, this is all just PR bluster. They've already backdoored all harddrives by infecting the firmware, compromised Cisco and backdoored all switches, they probably have operatives inside MS who've placed impossible-to-find backdoors in all versions of their OS's, they've stolen millions of SIM card K{i} keys, and their monitoring kit can hoover up any data for later processing that has the mildest whiff of interesting to it--automatically.

They "say" they *want* to sniff all encrypted coms... because they already are. Probably.

Who knows, maybe not, but when secretive agencies make a lot of PR noise, you can be certain it's a distraction.

Well, they could keylog your computer and just lift the password.
Or, i don't know, steal the crypto key to the SIM card in your phone or something, and then keylog your phone.
Or simply, take a hammer to your fingers until you gave them all your passphrases. But you're probably not that valuable or interesting to them to do this one.

Shoulda used more alliteration. #missedOpportunity

I'll be Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, and Syria would be right interested to sign up for this.

I dropped some money towards the Flic indigogo awhile back, which is a simple "one click" remote button that is tethered to a smartphone, and you program it to do anything you want... send an email, call a friend, take a photo, etc. etc. Flic.io

The single function and customizability may be what you are looking for.

Of course. They have all the data and statistics. And they have the comprehensive reach to give insurance to everyone, *for a much lower cost*. We'd be fools not to take it, because it's so cheap, and covers *everything*. Cars, houses, rentals, electronics, babies, jobs, farms... anything you have or need.
This will kill the Insurance Industry(TM) as we know it, and replace it will GoogleSure, in which you are automatically enrolled once you turn 16. Enrolled for life.

Inevitably, this imperious mission creep will eventually invade politics: first taking over all lobbying, then the politicians, then finally the entire government itself. We will become citizens of the GoogleStat. Politics, lawmaking, poverty, homelessness, immigration, budgets, subsidies, etc. all will be done in the most efficient manner possible; the entire economy will be 'tightened up' thanks to Google's efficient algorithms. And we won't even need to vote on anything anymore, because our Benevolent Father Google will already know what we choose, where we drive, how we live, and what we want. The Holy Algorithms will simply select the best laws for us, and the DriverlessGoogleCopBots will enforce them, just like Judge Dredd: Judge, Jury & Enforcement rolled into one... One Massive Algorithm to Rule Us All. And it will finally be perfect.

So I used to walk about 2 miles to school and back most days when I was between 8-10 years old. Never a problem. Sure, one person's anecdote is no preponderance of evidence, but I'm with the Meitiv's on this one.

At heart of this issue is that most people's *first response* is to fucking call the police. The "mandatory reporter" couldn't have, oh maybe, gone and talked to the children _first_, and THEN talked to the parents, instead of cowardly calling the police from the secrecy of their home & making it a legal issue.
  THIS is was Soviet Russia was like, everyone snitching on everyone until no one had friends they could trust, and everybody went neurotic from the isolation.

The cops/CPS assumption that the caller is right and the parents are automatically at fault is *definitely* a problem too. Shades of the police state.

"religion can never be used to justify violence"

Bwaahahahahahahaaaa! As if.
Religious-inspired violence has killed more people in the history of this planet that state-sponsored violence.
"Morality", it appears, specifically of the religious kind, tends to allow people to justify mortal violence against whatever 'infidel' their in-group points a finger of hate.

(1) cases that pose an imminent danger to public safety,
So basically, ANY public gathering at all, whenever 2 or more are together, for any purpose.

(2) cases that involve a fugitive, or
Any *political* demonstration. Or any time the cops allege a "fugitive" is out and about.

(3) cases in which the technology is used in public places or other locations at which the FBI deems there is no reasonable expectation of privacy."
Any time anyone is on the street with a mobe in their pocket.

Pretty straightforward!

Metaxas fails to define or even mention *which* God it is that Science allegedly proves exists.

  Bit of a shocker for him if "Science" showed that Buddha was real, but not Jahweh or Allah.

You know, you think that God could have given us more than *one book* (of dubious historical provenance) with which to assert his reality. I mean really, one book? Just one? Something more thorough like an encyclopedia would have been better, if you're going for just one. But really, continued output would be more convincing. "Publish or perish," right?

And anyway, it's been nearly 2000 years since that book was written. No updates for modern issues? No edits? No recent editions (save for language translations)? No further tales or stories? Nor more commandments? ("Thou shalt not waste more than 20% of your time on the Internet!")

How come nobody sees burning bushes any more? Or gets turned into pillars of salt? Evangelicals have had to resort to blaming random *natural phenomena* on various alleged lapses in so-called morality. Where's the accuracy in that?

God really needs to get back to work and write another book.
