The smart play would be to quietly bury some code in the guidance system that causes the missile to explode in the tube if it targets and fires upon a friendly IFF beacon.

First of all, you are reading it wrong. The Constitution doesn't grant you any rights. It says that the Government cannot infringe on certain rights. This is a very important distinction.

Secondly, it has been said many times throughout our history, both in our courts and by our founders, that the ability to be anonymous is paramount to the ability to exercise free speech. See the Federalist Papers for a prime example of this.

December 21st my friend.

And how, exactly, does one get their naval assets out of range of aircraft (the most common delivery system for anti-ship missiles) that can strike any spot on the planet? Are you suggesting that the navy has Star Blazers style ships that can fly through space or something?

Don't forget that most (not all) of those other stats represent single death incidents. 9/11 was a single incident with an unusually large death toll. You can't really compare 9/11 to say Bronchitis and say that terrorism would be equally likely to kill you over a 20 year period.

Catholic schools teach lefties to write correctly using the penguin ruler method.

I'm not so sure that this is true. There are a lot of things that a company is not allowed to ask a prospective candidate. Age/sexual preference/marital status/kids/(legal) drug use/etc just for starters. Those are things that could all easily be found in most people's social networking profiles.

From what I see, any company that engages in this kind of activity opens itself up to enormous risk of lawsuits. If they gain access to someone's facebook profile and then choose not to hire them, the prospective employee can point to information in their facebook profile that the employer should not have access to as the basis of a lawsuit. IMHO, the entire thing is a minor issue as it will sort itself out pretty quickly.

Yup! Just like Anna Chapman! Oh, wait...she got on the cover of Maxim magazine after being sent home instead...

Well, no...that would be silly...IBM hasn't made PCs for years.

So some definitions of marriage should never be changed because it is an ANCIENT construct given legitimacy by legal rulings?

The same way that they did before passports had chips in them? Namely by scanning the barcode and/or the magnetic strip.

No, you really don't.

If your goal is to reproduce the contents of the RFID chip, then you want it in the encrypted form. No need to decrypt it.

And considering that the encryption was broken in 2006, even if you do want the contents, you don't really need the MRZ.

As a citizen, you cannot be denied entry into the US.

Denying you the ability to leave is another matter, but even that can only be done under very limited circumstances since the ability to travel has been upheld as a right.

Really? All of that just so my ten year old kid can fly his crappy $20 Air Hogs toy? What? You didn't think this through? Really? It didn't show...

The same Mythbusters where they interviewed an ER doctor that says that it does happen and they called the myth busted anyway? Or did they revisit that one due to being out of fresh ideas too?
