Please Remove Your Shoes In this documentary, it shows the agreement between the FAA and airlines industries to put security at a low priority while getting passengers on planes as quickly as possible was the highest priority. A "red team" agent who audits security put a bomb in a suitcase, threw clothes on it and put a water bottle on top of the clothes. The screener detected the bag, opened it up, confiscated the water bottle and allowed the bag to go through. TSA agents complained because he "thought outside the box" and invalidated the test because it was "unfair" to their procedures on how to audit security. This documentary is from ex/current TSA, FAA, and air marshal agents. Did you know the TSA was more interested in having an air marshal dress code than actually "blending in" on the plane? The guy in a suit and tie sitting on the plane to Hawaii was a dead giveaway when everyone else was dressed appropriately.

My friend noted a weird "hidden" connection on Windows XP that connected her... are you ready for this? NASA. It was a fake A/V thing of malware that was pretty tough. It took me about 3 hours to clean the machine since the 30 minute dump a backup, wipe everything and restore after a fresh XP install was not an option.

Is it "Barack Bush" or "George Obama"? I get confused sometimes. Democrat and Republican are two, by appearance, differences on the same corrupt coin. Flip it and whatever side it may land on seems like a choice but it's still a coin of corruption. For anyone who is about to say that third parties are ineffective and unimportant does not understand US History. Remember when our choices were the Democrat and Whig Party? Yes, the Republican Party was the most successful third party in US History which means we can easily make an effective, important third party if we put our minds to it.

The link between so-called scientific research and making a dollar. I had a girl on Facebook post about some "HIV breakthrough" that could "cure" HIV / AIDS. I hated to rain on her parade but I posted previous stories from 2010 where there were "HIV breakthroughs" that proved to not work or be false, basically calling for investment in exchange to continue the research.
