Comment Re:This will not safeguard private data (Score 2) 38

If that's your standard for those emails with confidentiality statements (they are not disclaimers), you already have a problem because your device and maybe email provider already read them to determine if they are spam. Also, unless the email body has been encrypted, they've been sat in SMTP server queues in plain text where nefarious people could read them.

Those "disclaimers" aren't really worth anything.

Comment Re:The FAA is greatly to blame (Score 1) 191

There's a difference between passing a pilot as fit to fly and passing a new aeroplane as fit to fly. In the former case, the only thing that rides on it is one person's career and you could argue that it is in the airline's best interests that its pilots know how to fly its planes. In the latter case, the financial wellbeing of an entire huge company might be at stake. There is no way a plane should be certified by employees of the company that makes it.
