Anybody remember Myspace ? It was all the rage before facebook came out. When people finally noticed facebook, myspace withered faster than a watermelon in death valley on july 4th. (I just had to find an excuse to put in that imagery, and this worked acceptably.)

I checked, and I definitely don't have nerves under my feet unless I'm standing on someone, but then, those aren't mine and so they don't count.

In my feet, yes.
Under my feet, no. :)

Give squid face my regards :p

For the same reason you don't put unnecessary labels on any other foods either.

On top of that, you have a rather vocal group of people screaming that genetically modifying organisms is immoral and dangerous, even though there isn't slightest bit of proof. There are groups that are actively trying to sabotage GMO no matter what, and they don't care how many people suffer and die because of it. (One example is the politician in India that has sworn to do everything possible to keep all GMOs out of India no matter how many children go blind or people starve to death that could have been prevented by the GMOs. And it's not just rhetoric. They turned down many tons of food to a starving region because it had GMOs in it.)

Once you start labeling things as GMO, those same people that are attacking them in the first place will start claiming that the GMO label is on the food because it isn't safe, but the government won't publicly admit it, so the put the labels on it so you'll know and can avoid it, wink wink...
The FDA is aware of that dirty lie being planned because some of the gmo-opponents spoke about it publicly several years back.

So in short, you don't give ammunition to the nutjob that's already shooting up the place.

The internet was always a lot more than just news groups before anyone advertised on it in the first place.
Advertising is a problem in that a large percentage of the people don't want the intrusive all pervasive advertising that advertisers keep pushing on us because we don't pay enough attention to them.
In the real world, a door to door salesman isn't allowed to keep pounding on your door and ringing the doorbell continuously and run around to all the windows in your house holding up pictures and peering in to see what you like until you finally buy something. Of course, if you do buy something, he'd just start the process all over again to sell you something again and again, ad infinitum.
Unfortunately that's what advertising on the internet is like. He's doing everything he can to intrude on whatever you are doing, and force you to look at his ads and buy his junk. All the while, he's trying to scrape up as much info about you and your likes as he can by any means, of which tracking cookies are just one.
You wouldn't put up with this crap in the real world, why do you think they should be allowed to do it on the internet?

Unless it has an integral battery like most rechargeable toothbrushes in which case cutting it open to remove the battery will probably destroy it.

Maybe, but it's not like you'll ever hear it go off.
As everyone through out the world that works with explosives knows very well, you'll never hear the bomb that kills you.

They never did.
I've seen lots of the bombs (non explosive duplicates for training purposes) used by real terrorists in a little museum EOD had.
Every one of them was a real item that had been used against Americans.
Every one of them was indistinguishable from the item it was intended to duplicate, and often had full functionality.
My favorite is still the telephone the detonated when you hung up.

If you don't know, EOD is Explosives Ordinance Disposal. They are the people that deal with various bombs and booby-traps that aren't supposed to be there.

I'd bet the battery ran out of juice in a bit less than 40 minutes.

The biggest 'security reason' for this delay is that the TSA has a bunch of morons working there.

Just go with the old standard, it's a battery powered back massaging wand...

I doubt it, remember, the TSA got ahold of their toothbrush.

That phrase is also used by cowards to explain their inappropriate actions based upon unfounded fears when they think they can get away with it.

In movies and tv shows, every single last one, especially after it's been found.
In real life, not a single one.

Of course to give you a comparison, hollywood has cars exploding all the time, but in real life, how many cars have you ever seen explode? (I'm betting it's close to, if not exactly Zero.)

Local levels, many, and rather successfully it seems.
Federal/national level, haven't heard of any others. Key point there, "I haven't heard of any others".

Which churches/organizations other than scientology and catholics have been having non-misdemeanor legal issues?

Well regular christians have done all that stuff for centuries, why shouldn't a newly spawned branch of christianity be any less disreputable? Yes, Mormons are Christians. So are Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, and so many others.

No, I'm not a Mormon, but I probably know a lot more than many of the posters here today. Sad, isn't it.
