Shhh, you'll make the trolls angry

Just a guess, but I'm thinking maybe someone traded "their iPad" for meth. That's just a guess though.

It looks like it would come out to be about $104 and change per gram. I don't buy/use meth, but I think that's in the ballpark.

I agree. It doesn't make sense to have a TSA presence if different areas of the same country feel that different standards are OK.

What is the point of conducting a more thorough search in one state if another state (Texas) is using a minimal standard? Who is in danger in this case? The local airport, the flight path of the plane, or the destination?

Wouldn't all three of these entities need to agree on the security standards?

When I was in school, there were any number of students signed up in coding classes because "there was money in computers." Numerous Comm, Poli-Sci, and English majors were attending. That being said, I do know of quite a few individuals in my current company that were hired into tech positions with English or Communication backgrounds, but have zero tech skills.

They can talk their way into tech positions, but end up causing a lot more problems once they're there. I'm all for people learning new skills, but take the time to learn them. It's great when they openly admit they have no idea what they are doing. By great, I mean that it's nice knowing I shouldn't have to worry about my job - which is fixing the problems they cause.

There isn't any real money available, we're just borrowing from the future. We're essentially breaking our system so bad that the standard of living in the US isn't going to improve for well over a decade.

Someone, somewhere has to to realize that we will have to pay all this back. Our taxes are going to go up and the longer we put it off, the worse it's going to be.

Maybe it isn't supposed to detonate yet...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would feel VERY sketchy about standing, touching, being anywhere in the vicinity of a weapon from another super power that was "captured."

It's true, you get what you pay for. I've paid for the Live membership for over 5 years and I've been very happy with it. It's easy, they keep it fresh, and the added indie game section is a nice touch. I'll be interested to see what the live TV offering is going to be and I'm also hopeful they'll incorporate Skype with Kinect. The camera on the Kinect doesn't appear to capture the most crisp picture, but it's decent enough to get the point across.

Wait until Apple invents Widgets on the iPhone 5. Then it will really revolutionize the industry.

I have a credit card here and I'll offer $100 for that six pack. Carding has been around for a LONG time.

Some people learn new concepts easier when there is a structured learning environment. Sure, you can find plenty of tutorials on just about anything, but there's nothing wrong with having deadlines to adhere to and a structure to follow.

Noted and thanks for the info. That being said, the pain of snail mailing might be equivalent to being staked in the heart like a vampire.

Privatization of the TSA does not mean one company covering the United Stated. It could bring about some competition.

IANAL, but I think that's right. Otherwise you'll have to take them to court individually for leaking your information.
