CIA/NSA/US.mil can track phones even if they are powered off... and this article supposes even if the battery is removed.
I think you're insane for thinking a gun is going to give you any protection from anyone armed with more than a saturday night special
What are you talking about? Firearms are literally the best thing for defense from armed assailants.
I don't think the constitution says anything about you individually having the right to own a gun,
Then it is clear that you do not have a very good understanding of the Constitution.
This; at least under federal and most state/local laws.
In some places (california, others), you could legally manufacturer a modern sporting rifle, but you couldn't sell it.
According to FactCheck.org, nearly half of the funding for the NRA comes from membership dues alone. Voluntary donations to the NRA, however, still account for a majority portion of the remaining funding.

If, OTOH, I drive to visit my daughter, the NSA say they're completely uninterested in me or my car, even if I drive through the US to get there.
Well, no.
They are just saying they are not interested in gathering that bit of information from Verizon, in this particular NSL/FISA injunction/wiretap order.
If they are willing to record data on every call between every American, then they are surely more than willing to gather data on foreigners. They are probably just getting that information elsewhere, or via another NSL.
Verizon already collects all this data. Is that unconstitutional?
Well, no.
Essentially, the Constitution grants powers to the Federal government. It does not place limits on individuals (same as corporations).
When was the last time you walked through a metal detector?
Seriously?
For myself, I can think of only a handful of times in the last year.
1) When going into a state courthouse. (Metal detector, but legally allowed to carry a gun anywhere but in the actual courtroom (with state permit to carry.))
2) At the airport, but only about 25% of the time, and ONLY when "opting out" of the naked image scanners.
So what the hell do the puffer scanners at the airport scan for??? Nukes?
Here is their company blog post with a partial list of courses.

"Note that gun safety features (not universally loved) like grip safeties, have been available in some form and in various combinations for many decades."
Grip safeties have been around on guns a long time. The 1911 has one, and that is a 100+ year old design that is still in prominent use today.
I wonder if these also have the "Flawed Mirror" that the Hubble had.
I also wonder if that flaw helped the telescope view the earth rather than the stars.
Never attribute to malice, what can be easily explained by incompetence.
These telescopes are still here, on the ground. This makes me assume they were *never* in space, as retrieval would be very costly, and apparently pointless if they have no use for them.
They either have several more up in space, or they were never able to get them up and running in the first place.
Switch to RAID 6. Or some wother format with dual parity drives. With the size of drives now-a-days it is pretty likely that another drive will die as you are populating a fresh replacement drive on RAID5.
FTA: "It’s a potential moneymaker for the city, which will earn 30 percent of the gross revenues on the sale of the platform to other customers."
