I _really_ want to see the scenario that sent a modern submarine after the USS Olympia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Olympia_(C-6)

And now 2/3 of all state elections are now Senate elections. This means that local issues are either ignored or distorted to drive control of the Senate. And voters don't get to split tickets because only a straight party line vote will send the candidate you want to Washington. And forget sending Senators from two different parties. And really forget sending Independents.

Or just over 28 versts.

Because so much of the P2P _is_ video.

Shouldn't there be a 100-mile circle around every airport?

Besides the Shuttle and 2 Soyuz there are 3 uncrewed supply vessels: 1 Russian Progress, 1 Japanese H-II, 1 ESA ATV "Johannes Keppler" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unmanned_spaceflights_to_the_ISS (scroll down to fights 47-49)

If they don't want these people hanging out, why go to the trouble of luring them in?

Or rent a car once a year using existing infrastructure.

Or put a clean install of your OS and _nothing_ else on one of these drives. You never know...

Use it for nothing else. They can't mess up your personal machine or lose your data if they don't get their paws on it.

Keeping the pictures on hand does help to prove identity theft. Back in the 90's I sold a couple of cell phones to a guy who'd actually gotten some one else's nfo by rooting through his gym bag. The ID looked like a genuine ID from the DMV because it was. But being the criminal mastermind he was, he didn't realize the DMV would have a copy of the ID with his picture and the other fellows name. Awkward. By not keeping the photos, you'd make it much harder to prove it wasn't you.

If they can fob the program off on the states, they can duck the expense, too.

California will pay for Texas and Kentucky. Red states don't just stick their snouts in the Federal trough; they dive in and wallow. It's how they stand up to Washington.
