BMI doesn't mean anything, I can eat anything and everything, regardless of fat content, deep-fry levels or amount of MSG and I stay skinny as a twig - your metabolism is where it's at. Personally I would only deem the above lunch unhealthy only if the sandwich had no vegetables on it and amount of potato chips was obscene...

Because if they don't, according to them, something terrible will surely happen. We know it hasn't so far, not thanks to them... but just wait until something does happen - they will be ecstatic in their "I told you so" lamenting and more surveillance will follow. "Cancer of the few outweighs the safety of the many" should be their motto.

Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted for TSA Body Scanners->

Submitted by wiedzmin
wiedzmin writes "TSA agents in Dallas singled out female passengers to undergo screening in a body scanner, according to complaints filed by several women who said they felt the screeners intentionally targeted them to view their bodies. Allegedly, women with "cute bodies" were directed through the body scanners up to three times over by female agents, who appeared to be acting on a request from male agents viewing the scans in a separate room. Apparently this was done because the scans were "blurry", possibly due to autofocus problems with agents' smartphone cameras."

I have one, it's ridiculously cheap at $150 for a 32GB tablet that can run Android apps... I will never buy anything Amazon though, after they screwed its DX customers with absolute lack of support, and it's Canadian customers with absolute lack of content, so yeah - nobody cares.

NSA Is Waiting For A Major Incident To Create New Cyber Law

Submitted by wiedzmin
wiedzmin writes "It appears that the NSA is waiting for a major incident to create new cyber law that would grant them open access to private networks. Hit up the link above for some quotes or check the EFF website for an entire page dedicated to tracking how over the years NSA has been consistently making strides towards expanding warrantless wiretapping provisions under the guise of "prevention" and "cooperation"."
