It doesn't even incorporate a Stewart platform in its implementation, lame.

Do they own binoculars? Even modest binoculars can resolve the disk of a planet.

Yeah, I was going to say that bank managers are good at this. They can not give a shit about your problems, but can't imagine their home life is the same.

And this may yet expose a flaw in deep compartmentalization. Should there be a super-user who can do such searches? Maybe someone that has to get keys from other users to do such a search. I would assume every employee can search their own email. National Geo. could certainly know which employees exchanged email with the NSA, and narrow their request.

As experts in security and infomration gathering, maybe the NSA knows how to keep their email compartmentalized and secure from being searched, even by their own people.

That is what I first thought. They want to compartmentalize internal emails to keep things compartmentalized. +1 indeed sir!

NSA drug running? Really? I thought that is what the CIA does to top up the slush fund. That and arms trading. Who know how many Libyan small arms they've just acquired for future distribution when they need deniability.

Or it could be, yknow, people just don't want to get shot out for a night at the movies anymore.

I know! 12 people got killed going to a batman movie last year! WTF?

Too soon?

Before things improve, they will get worse.

Guess they architects didn't see it like that, or did and had a massive laugh when they were built.

God, I hope no architects were involved. Hopefully it was designed by engineers. I can only imagine what a nuke plant would look like if Frank Gehry designed it.

I'm not sure exactly what you're implying about the warm water and sharks, but considering the rest of your post is about environmental effects you seem to be implying that the water is warm and therefore somehow irradiated?

No, I think he means the water is literally warmer around the plant. Was it not located on the beach to provide cooling water for the reactor? Thermal pollution is what that is called.

They are not airtight. They have a vent so the container can "breathe". Otherwise it will do "oil canning" with atmospheric pressure changes.

They are gaskets at the doors, but there is a vent up high on the container.

There may be some specialty containers which are airtight, but the generic ones are not.

Sure it may be a small expenditure in their overall budget, but what are they buying here? PR? Good or bad PR? I don't see the point in government agencies "buying" likes on FB. Are they insecure?

Because Assange has it so good? This whole think will be a case study in how not to react to leaked information. It would be funny if it didn't feel so real. Keystone cops government reaction. Yeah, they are fake slides, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Personally, I think the declassification date is a nice touch.

They are making a big deal out of Snowden. Do you think they would do that for a bunch of BS? The guy is stuck in a Russian airport with a revoked US passport and charged with espionage. Would they do that over fake powerpoint slides?

Re: #5 No, broadcasting is verboten. Amateur radio is for two way communication. Broadcasting is when you are constantly transmitting and not bothering to listen, because you are occupying the carrier frequency with one's broadcast. As to what currently prevents it, other amateur operators will report it to the FCC (If they don't bother to triangulate the source themselves and send a HARM missile that way). If someone is being an obvious prick, the FCC will confiscate equipment and shut down offending transmitters.
