For example. this weekend I will be renting a house at the coast for 4 days with 15 other gamers. we do it 4 times a year, or so.
Right, because renting a house to game in with 15 other people is a totally common activity.
Bond Bubble Ben is still printing Bernanke Bucks at a rate of about $1T/year as well, because the FED is the only entity willing to buy new US debt anymore.
Uh, no.

Investors rushed into U.S. Treasury debt for safety, sending bond yields to record lows for a second straight session.
...
The U.S. government is a big winner as it continues to borrow cheaply to finance its large fiscal shortfall. The Treasury Department sold $35 billion two-year notes at a record-low yield of 0.22% Tuesday, a good start to this week's $99 billion in new supply of notes.
I commit no crimes with them....so, they have no need to know about them.
And yet, you have to register your car...
So if they failed everyone who had an account with them would be scrambling for their cut of 2% of the amount needed to pay everyone back.
FDIC. If you have over $250K in the bank, well, let me break out the world's tiniest violin...
"lie to campus police and be let go free of charge"
This too, completely legal, campus police are just security guards with no special right to be told the truth.
Um, you sure about that? Most campus police are "real" police, and can arrest you, depose you, etc.
OK, so under what circimstances does a wifi device ever do a broadcast probe?
A directed probe would have to be user-initiated, at least the first time, so that's moot.
Right, which is why you have to manually key in the hidden SSID, and THEN the phone will try to connect to that SSID.
That's the only time the phone will communicate out via wifi by itself and not in response to the advertised SSID.
Two of the homes listed in the first publication of gun owners' names have had their homes burglarized - and one of them only had their gun safe stolen.
And? I'm sure houses get burglarized all the time, list or no. How do you know the burglaries were related to being listed?
Also, MANY houses that are burglarized only have their gun safes touched. What are you going to do, fence that gigantic 50" TV for....$100? Guns are where it's at in terms of illegal resale value.
What if we had a list of all gay people, or all people who buy porn because "we want our readers to know where its ok for the children to play"
Gay people and porn buyers are not a danger to children. Guns are a danger to everyone.
These are valuables that are now listed online for every criminal to target while the vast majority of citizens leave an empty house behind for hours every day.
You mean like.....cars?
Which every household registers with the State?
Which are worth much more than guns?
Last time I checked, the taking of property without due process is illegal. I doubt this will stand in it's present form.
Tell that to the guy caught with pot who gets his car sold at auction.
Due process is whatever the cops/feds want it to be.
Someone intent on killing a room full of kindergartners is going to figure out how to do it, and no amount of legislation is going to stop them.
Fantastic. When can I pick up my rocket launcher and tank? After all, no restrictions are needed since people will kill people regardless of available weapons....right?
Cars are essential to daily life for the majority of Americans. Our society would grind to a halt without them.
Guns? Not so much. I don't ride a gun to work every day. If I never interacted with a gun for the rest of my life, my life would be nearly exactly the same.
Danger:reward ratio for cars is MUCH smaller than for guns.
The number of hours per week you owe to your employer is part of your employment contract.
BZZT. I'm salaried. I have no set number of work hours other than "full time". If I get my projects done on-time, I fully expect to do whatever I want with the remaining time.
I'm sure the company would happily set something up for people to check their phones in/out.
What, something that requires money AND accountability to run?
LOL, doubtful they'd set that up voluntarily.
