Comment Apple weak (Score 1) 73

Of course this article is over the top -- bugs will be worth more on the open market. However it is worth discussing. Apple does offer you something: acknowledgement on their website and a swift resolution of the problem. I have submitted a bug to Apple under this program that was acknowledged but have found that they leave much to be desired in this process. Replies from Apple on each email take about 30 days. No status reports are provided unless you ask. No details are provided whatsoever on the fix (from an academic perspective). For this first time I am following this process solely to see if it will work and so I may document for the public. However in the future I will be following my standard ethics / best practice with Apple just like every other company: "here's your vuln, I'm publishing in two weeks, please link to my blog when you announce this, call me if you need help or more time."

I have been opting out for years and appreciate my right to do so. If push comes to shove I would cancel my trip if I was compelled. Is any analysis available if I would be able to get a refund from Visa in this circumstance? Is any documentation possible to get from TSA possible to support such a claim. And is there any other form of non violent protest that I can do on the spot which would not get me put in jail / shit / no-fly listed? Seeking serious answers for a principled person.
