I don't think many adults don't know of someone who lost an eye from a bb gun. In the old days 300 fps was fast. Double ought buck will fall about 250 feet per second. Your mother was right, you could put your eye out with that. Maybe Chicken Little was right? I don't doubt the evil intentions of the drone owner photographing scantily clad maturing children, but as a gun lover life member of the NRA, That was a really stupid thing to do, Mr Merideth, Ha ha if he called 911 and told the dispatcher (usually a young mother) The neighbor is secretly taking pictures of my young girls in my private back yard in their bikinis. It might have brought the drone down faster than the gun(-:

Think about this. Almost all of us are taxpayers and too smart to drive drunk! If we can have yet another law we get much more fines in the local coffers and maybe they will leave the taxpayer alone. More laws +more fines= more money for gov't I propose Keyboard fines! every one must use Touch screens only approved by NSA! Keyboards will no longer be tolerated! ALL MUST BE POINTY!

So? If this is not admissible in a court is everything else much ado about nothing?

I am no lawyer and not racist. I have a business and put surveillance cameras in that can record audio. In my state that is a violation of wiretap laws to record audio. You don't need to be going around recording audio here. If they do say something bad it isn't allowed in court but you can be charged. Just a curiousity.

I am an engineer and a scientist. one of my wife's comments just prior to our divorce after I listed the numerous benefits of a continued relationship, was "you just don't get it, it is like living with a pentium II." (the best and the hottest going at the time, what the hell did she want?) Rather a nice comment when someone is leaving you I thought.. Perhaps Scientists and Engineers are not the best choices for the first meeting.I am still an engineer and have a pentium 4 poster above this desktop but live without human company. perhaps scientists are not the best choice for human contact.

The difference is bricks and mortar have been around since Methuselah was a kid. Big pointy bricks. Stonehenge offers insight and you don't get to play if you have not joined the guild with rich and ancient heritage. An employer the hires you to embark on a mission where no man has gone before must accept and assume there will be trouble with tribbles and klingons. If what he wanted to do was available he would just buy quickbooks or peachtree or something and fire you. I would suggest no one should back off from that one. Tj

these comments are mostly about the illusion of privacy. WhereY'all been? It is an anachronism like a sundial. Tj
