Protect yourself. Courts have held that the government has no duty to protect you.

Well, yes. How many people now have been stopped for entering Turks and Caicos with ammunition in their carry-on luggage? Ammunition that evidently slipped through TSA checks and onto the aircraft.

Not apologizing for the passenger fuck-ups. Check your luggage before you fly. But not catching ammo before boarding is serious. The rest of a firearm could be an undetectable 3D printed plastic pistol. But the ammo would be tough to print.

"Family" restrooms are usually single occupant. So, the perfect solution for those who might be shy. Or need opposite gender supervision. Assuming that building architecture will allow them.

They do here. Because dad might have the baby for the day.

So, no chance of just requiring TSA to include a "manual check" line as an option? Let the customer decide. Either smile for the camera or get in the line with the grumpy agent checking IDs and faces.

We must all be made equal. And dragged down to the level satisfying that paranoid tweaker with outstanding warrants.

Right. It's about hiding who they bought it from.

The Supermicro hack was amateurish. You solder a stand-alone chip to a motherboard and hope nobody will ask what its for? When you can encapsulate the same die in an existing chip? Or even include the HDL for your sneaky chip in an existing PLD that people expect to see?

Most of the GSA regulations are about getting vendors to sign on to a bunch of crazy DEI promises. And most of the stuff bought by the gov't isn't susceptible to hacks. You want the good coffee for the federal office coffee pot but the local supplier won't sign a truckload of B.S. paperwork to sell to you? Get a buddy who will resell it and slap a "Fair Trade" sticker on the package.

How did I know that it would be a woman's computer?

Unless the government has an urgent need. Then they just whip out their credit card and buy from Best Buy or eBay*.

*It usually involves a middleman to do the reselling. To cover up the actual source, provide plausible deniability for the administration doing the purchasing, and make those resellers a bundle of cash (some of which is applied to the requisite campaign funds to keep the whole process running).

What's the problem? No headphone jack?

You may be as much as a decade too late. Our TLAs have probably had such classified capabilities for at least that long.

Resonance, no. But dielectric heating in a microwave oven works with polar molecules. The principal one for this application is water.

"Louie Louie" denied.

I can imagine a sign on the shop floor:

IT HAS BEEN [ 2 ] DAYS SINCE THE LAST WHISTLEBLOWER DEATH

Look at how long it took to put down Rasputin.

Whoops! Looks like you forgot to pay a recurring expense. Well, we'll just hang onto your pay envelopes until you've done your job.

Already done. Default behavior is that sudo generates a 'new' environment as if a user has logged in as the target UID. Unless the admin has completely borked up the default sudoers configuration. Now that is certainly a possibility. But that is a social engineering attack. There is nothing stopping an idiot from messing up any system (SETUID or run0) and allowing corrupt executables to be run with elevated permissions.
