Submission + - Edward Snowden's Lawyer Claims Harassment from Heathrow Airport Border Police (ibtimes.co.uk)

Submitted by concertina226
concertina226 writes: Jesselyn Radack, a human rights lawyer representing Edward Snowden, has claimed that she was detained and questioned in a "very hostile" manner on Saturday by London Heathrow Airport's Customs staff.

Radack freely disclosed to the border agent that she was going to see members of the Sam Adams Associates group, and when he realised that the meeting would be happening at the Ecuadorian Embassy, he went on to ask her if Julian Assange would be in attendance and to ask her about why she had travelled to Russia twice in three months.

Comment Fiction to action (Score 1) 124

I read a book by Tom Clancy once that ended with a plane crashing into the Capital Building....years later we had 9/11. I have recently read several books that had subplots of the Chinese hacking our infrastructure. Power, Water and Nuclear. It seems to me that fiction can be turned into reality someone really grabs an idea... It almost makes you want to buy a generator and a pallet of water.... History has shown us that the U.S, Government is reactive not proactive to these type of problems.

Submission + - BitTorrent Launches Dropbox Alternative With Unlimited Storage (ibtimes.com)

BitTorrent Sync is also highly secure and works across all devices, but unlike competing services like Box or Dropbox, BitTorrent Sync doesn’t use the cloud (which means that no third-party has access to one’s files), and also has no storage limits."
