Thanks!

Hey, on the other hand. People would be flying more :)

Would you mind sharing these rules with all of us?

It's ultimately those who know nothing about the system that have the Freedom to comment about it.

You're trying to evoke a reaction; I should have been smart, not fell into the trap. Oh well... In any event...You have an option, take a car or a boat. Their is always a solution, you must look for it. Personally, I'd rather have my airports be .0001 more secure. I'm sure their will be speculation, their are bad seeds in every business. Yes, some people will violate your right and giggle about it with thier friends. It's human nature, there's no finite system. It takes your convience more than anything, something that people hold so dear. I have absolutely NOTHING to hide, so I don't mind one bit.

Then again, maybe I am just ego-centric. You know what, you're right!

I would think it would take a great amount of effort and persons to keep track of someone. I really doubt our civil liberties are at stake. The GREAT majority of people just aren't that important. Don't be ego-centric, realize this likely doesn't apply to you, and you will in no way shape or form be effected by this. As far as the difficulty for travel, come on; how much worse could they possibly make it...? It's horrid even for the military.

Thank you! :)

I didn't realize I posted twice? o.O

For us it's nearly our only way to speak to our loved ones at home. I'm just glad it's back up...

What business did they have building an OS? How's that going for them?
With WIMAX/WIFI/LTE overthrowing EVO/EVDO now's an oppertune time to get into the cell service industry. Or to pioneer new technology that's virtually allready been around for a long time!? *cough* Wimax/LTE...
Furthermore; They're one of the few companys that could bankrole that sort of thing and add some compitition to a [B]VERY STALE[/B]*stale not stagnant* market.
Hell, I'd love to see them lay down a series of fiber links that could replace PSTN all together, and be a one stop shop home telephone/cell phone/internet solution.

I'd love to see Google provide a cell service. He'll I'm tired of Sprint, T-mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. They all equally suck in one way or another. Not to say that Google could do better. But, Hey; I'd love to see them try! I would try their service!

I've noticed with these companies that even when you get the BBB involved, nothing becomes of it.
I've read various articles about the BBB loosing it's and/or has lost its legitimacy?
I'm left with only questions:
1) Where is the consumer to turn? Who sticks up for the working man that spends his/her hard earned cash on these products?
2) What the hell happened to accountability!? If no one has the consumers back, what is the consumer to do when they get screwed?
3) Is their something that we as people can do? I'd be willing to fork out some of my own money to start some sort of organization that can defend people against these corporations. I'm sure their are more people out their that feel the same way!
I'm serious, let me know! I'm actually willing to do something about it!

Thank you HTC for Alpha testing the HTC EVO on the general public! So many of us were left with a phone that you have to charge every 3 hours, but the charging ports broke within the first few uses!
HTC says their warrantys don't cover physical damage, what the hell good is it?
Sprint says, pay me a hundred bucks for a refurb fool! So you do, and a week later; rinse and repeat!
It was different when it was software, but hardware being beta tested on the public and they eat the cost!? I'm left with only one thing to say: W T F

I'd think that any bit of security at this point that would be implaced by a corperation as large as this one would have some alignment with the US government. Of course this will be exploited, anything that can be exploited will be. I'm starting to feel as if it's time that big brother, big mother, and our even bigger father to lay the hell off. I just hope that more people start to feel that way. Of course this is all speculation... I'm really not that tech savy compaird to most of you. However, I do feel that most of the freedoms that people so much better than myself died for, are long gone.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -Ben Franklin

Pay more attention to the people that YOU put into office. Once you start giving a crap, things will change.
