Good point. I agree with you.

It's been said before but it bears repetition, the TSA is security theater, that's all. And all paid for with our tax dollars. We are a nation of sheep.

Yeah, but the private sector owns the gov't.

Yeah ... I pretty much agree with this ... except it may come sooner than 10 years from now ... if things aren't bad enough already.

This happened to a friend of mine. His system was totally hijacked. Couldn't run any .exe. I finally got into the registry and disabled the malware, and things were seemingly back to normal. But we re-imaged the machine and restored his backed-up data. It was a pain, but it didn't take that long. But it was a similar thing, I think. Firefox crashing - go try IE, and bang.

Thanks for some comments from a European perspective. We Americans don't listen to others' views of us enough. Your English is good enough, and, as you say, much better than my German (I wish I could speak and read your language).
