Not once but twice I've had a skunk face to face with me in my tent. You'd think I'd learn something from that, but no. ;)

Look on a map how big 15 miles around the White House is. About 1 million (with an M) live in that area. I don't give a shit about the EFF. If you bought one of these in that area and want the latest firmware, you're fucked. Unaware newbies buying one of those in that area will have no idea why their $1200 toy is now a paperweight. Now just wait for the lawyers to come in and try to claim the first class action. Should be fun.

The previous no fly zones were over airports. Not 15 miles around a landmark. Not even comparable. There new one excludes anybody inside the Beltway. Ridiculous.

Not optional for anybody buying one now.

Patent lawyers are not normal people.

They would also use a bomb big enough to blow up the bridge.

Which movie involves pipe bombs?

Grab it and throw it in the trash. Christ this country has become a bunch of pussies.
