2) Open it up, not caring that you wiped it
3) Determine location to drill to sever battery cable, and how to defeat/avoid physical tamper detection
4) Steal one
5) Follow results of #3
6) Profit!
A ban on cryptocurrencies that are both unregulated AND anonymous would not apply to Bitcoin.
If you haven't noticed lately, Congress is unwilling to legislate and prefers rather to delegate power to the Executive branch.
I sure hope that by "occupant" they mean "someone having legal control over the property, as in a lessee or tenant" rather than simply "someone who just happens to be in the home at the time of the search."
Can we PLEASE not fill the sky with autonomous airplanes full of people who no clue how to fly airplanes when (not if) something goes wrong?
I do sculptures in ice, limestone, clay, and other materials. If this Law passes, I would be forced by government to comply with a request I recently turned away.
That request was for a piece of art - a limestone sculpture of a young boy, but with an erect penis (customer also specified he wanted the erect penis to be 7-8" in length and 1.5-2" in diameter). I immediately said "no way" but the customer, who was openly, of not obviously gay, argued that the erect penis was a legitimate artistic expression of the sexual angst and tension young boys feel as they go through puberty. Yeah, right, with such exact size specifications.
So yeah, the government wants to compel me under threat of force to sculpt young boys with oversized erect penises for gay customers.
Sorry, but fuck you. I'm still not doing it.
Just tell me this - does it make a screen go all blocky and distorted as it slowly takes over your computer?
That's about the size of it. The lesson here is that you must provide your services under threat of force from government.
If this law does NOT get passed, it will become commonplace to get sued for turning away business, for whatever reason? Schedule already booked up? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination. Going on vacation that week? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination. Don't want to bake a swastika cake for the local neo-nazi ball? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination.

Every block where you see "Amateur" _not_ in all CAPS, Amateur Radio is a secondary use and not the primary licensee. You can see that there are no blocks that are allocated primarily to Amateur use that would be useful to cellular carriers.
420-450, 902-928, 1240-1300 are all government property that Amateurs are allowed to use provided they do not cause interference to the primary licensee.
If government didn't have a use for that spectrum, it certainly would have been sold already - certainly before going through all the trouble to move OTA TV to HD and reclaiming that spectrum.
Seriously, think logically for a minute. If the government could have opened up over 100Mhz of spectrum to cellular carriers by simply displacing a few hams, rather than upending the entire broadcast TV industry, that's the way it would have been done.
Those allocations do not belong to Amateur Radio. Amateur Radio is a secondary use on both of the bands that you mention.
I probably put the decimal point in the wrong place. Why do I always screw up some mundane detail?!?
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
