Submission + - US Government detained Laura Poitras every time she flew .. (techdirt.com) 1

An anonymous reader writes: Since the 2006 release of “My Country, My Country,” Poitras has left and re-entered the U.S. roughly 40 times. Virtually every time during that six-year-period that she has returned to the U.S., her plane has been met by DHS agents who stand at the airplane door or tarmac and inspect the passports of every de-planing passenger until they find her (on the handful of occasions where they did not meet her at the plane, agents were called when she arrived at immigration).

Each time, they detain her, and then interrogate her at length about where she went and with whom she met or spoke. They have exhibited a particular interest in finding out for whom she works.

Comment If roads were not free, would you still drive (Score 1) 654

Even with free public transit, the government spends far more providing roads (for free) to private/individual cars.

If all roads were toll roads, would you still drive.

If the budget for private/individual transportation was equal to the budget for public transit, which would be preferred?

Comment Uncommon email address? (Score 1) 213

Her email address is not a common one so we do not believe that it is someone accidentally using it;

Well I would hope that her address isn't common--it had better be unique! In any case, I agree with those saying that it's probably someone typo-ing their email address. If you really think that the cable company has her email address in their system, initiate your own password reset. The password reset confirmation email will go to her email box, and you can log into the account from there and see what's going on.
