I can't understand the focus of increasing security in airports, or at train or bus stations. Hospitals, shopping malls, places of worship are all even more porous as far as targets go and most people frequent them far more often than getting on a plane. As a consultant that's not the case for me, but I'd still like to see security streamlined (largely removed) at airports.

So why all the focus on travel? Because increasing government security at these points allows control and tracking of its citizens. It has little to do with actual safety...

Neither major party cares about anything a slashdotter does, so if you vote thinking they do then...yeah. If you're just voting for the lesser of two evils, then I understand, but still have little respect for your position. A democan/republicrat it doesn't matter who wins (or loses) so you might as well vote your conscience!

"That's the sobering finding based on transcripts from the remaining presidential candidates, all of whom came out against cryptography"

I call BS! Find a Libertarian candidate who supports this...oh you meant one of the media authorized duopoly? Then, of course; there is no difference between them.

Gary Johnson 2016!

With age as the only criteria, true. Vision and competence are also requirements...except apparently in Florida

Shouldn't the DVM only keep data related to current license holders? How many 120+ year olds in Pennsylvania are legally able to drive?

And your inability to read a tongue-in-cheek comment as such highlights your ignorance of humor...

No, you don't get it...but this is "on the Internet". That's why I'm patenting all the obvious methods, but adding "on the moon". I'm going to retire in style!

I saw Evan give this presentation at HouSecCon last month and I've been telling everyone to watch it since. I'm not a rah-rah kind of person, but after Evan finished, I wanted to save the world...but I didn't know what was attacking it...so I felt like attacking it and saving it from myself. Oh, and I had an odd urge to plagiarize Hoyt Axton.

Opiestar - Ron Howard!

Face it what would you be doing if you weren't out making yourself a better netizen?

I do the same thing, and have had the same response...for each instance, all future messages to that e-mail address go straight to trash. Problem solved.

I could never get any of the free versions of VMWare to work properly with my dual-homed test machine (I have eth0 connected to the Internet and eth1 connected to my lab). I wanted to run security testing VMs,like BackTrack against my lab network. VirtualBox had no problem assigning either of the network adapters. I use it almost exclusively now.

That's why @AHuxley we should all be yelling "bomb, bomb, president" into our phones at all times....

So you're rockin' a custom ROM? Only because they allow you to. Simple for a provider to disallow anything they don't approve of. If G-DOG says they are required to provide X-access, and your custom ROM doesn't let them...then YOU don't have access. Not true?

Because I can turn on a million mics with a touch of a button...wireless warrant taps for undesirables. Requesting a million warrants and placing a million bugs...do the math. But I agree, a covert camera to record you typing your password is infinitely easier than breaking your PGP key.
