People with NoScript on are likely already aware of the issue and strong supporters of net neutrality. This was about informing the commoners.

Don't these companies know how the internet works?
No. That's been MS's problem for 20 years.
This just speaks to the idiocy of the entire security clearance system. It's nothing more than witch hunting.
When a create a system where the only people who get through are those who game it, then the only employee you will have will be the ones you don't want.
This of course explains a lot about the government security industry.
You don't get to opt-out of being the subject of other people's freedom of speech.
Unless you're Kim Jong Un.
Compare Ellsberg to Snowden. Obama is worse than Nixon.
Troll harder buddy. Troll harder.
What fraction would you say is on basic science? I expected 30%. More like 4%
Why? LANL is EXPLICITLY a nuclear weapons design lab. That is it's purpose.
You've worked very hard to make that impossible. Your whole political position is based on the idea of giving people stuff. You give people free healthcare, free food, free housing, free education, free transport, free cell phones, free anything and everything.
You sure seem to know a lot about what everyone does and thinks and says. Do you work for the NSA or are you just full of shit?
What does this have to do with scientists conducting research? The bureaucrats handing out loans are completely different people. It's unlikely they even know each other exist except in the loosest sense (like I know people in Bangor exist, but I don't know a single person there).
Now you're going to sit there and attempt to be smug by claiming that the scientists are only doing their jobs and only pushing out the facts
Well, that is IN FACT what they're doing. I'm sorry if you find this unpleasant, but that's the reality of the situation.
That's fine. You're playing politics and it is in your political interest to make that point. I'm being honest, unlike you
Lay off the magic kool-aid buddy.
You might want to look at how many F-35s are actually being ordered. They could very well be outnumbered 12 to 1 in a given engagement with, for example, China or Russia.
I'm in my 20s and I saw that cartoon a hundred times as a kid. It's probably still being shown.
Since your parent poster is probably a European where liberal means something different.
The Confederacy was dedicated to the overthrow of the US Government and hundreds of thousands of them actually bore arms against that government, and they were less poorly treated than the "Communists" in the 1950s despite having been a far, far greater threat.
So yes, it was a witch hunt. Just because a handful of them existed doesn't mean the measures taken were reasonable or proportional to the threat (which was zilch).
just clench your buttocks at the right time
At least some polygraph operators use pressure-sensitive seat cushions to detect gluteal muscle movement during a polygraph since that episode of P&T. (source: brother who took a polygraph for employment).
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
