In which jurisdiction is this? What is the actual law cited?

... sit down!

... that pilots will be unhappy about this.

Keep your VIN number covered up.

I have a neatly printed and laminated card that says "Bait Car #6" over mine.

We already have that. Its called the nanny state. Doesn't matter if it's implemented on silicon or in the hive mind of a million bureucrats.

I thought they were all about 3D printing cute plastic toys and stuff.

FTFY

Or, they could just take it and then have the taxpayer go to court to get it back. Why should sports team owners be treated differently from the rest of the taxpayers?

Right. Here is an example of a complaint, filed against $13,630 of US currency. Note how they refer to the "Defendant Currency" in this document.

I wonder if I could file a civil forfeiture complaint against the holdings of Boeing or Lockheed as "used or intended to be used for the purchase of political favors".

Dear Sir,

I am glad to hear that your studio audience disapproves of the last skit as strongly as I. As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the RAF who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden. Arabs?

I doubt it. I think this joke dates back to WWII.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to be in their study. Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't.

So this skydiving student goes on his first solo jump. When the plane gets up to altitude and over the target, he jumps. Falling to the proper altitude, he pulls the release on the main chute. Nothing.

Fighting back panic, he remembers what they taught in class and pulls the release on the backup chute. Nothing happens again. Things are starting to look pretty grim as he watches the ground rapidly approach.

Then, he notices a man, rising toward him from the ground. Odd, he thinks to himself. But what the hell ..... When this person gets within earshot, the skydiver yells, "Hey buddy! Do you know how to work a parachute?"

"No", the other person replies. "Do you know how to light a Coleman stove?"

... disgreement may be why Assange is still effectively a prisoner. Schmidt probably went over at the behest of the NSA to assess the threat he might still pose. Assange, not being a sycophant, told him what he really thought. Not what would get his sentence reduced.
