I think it's time to call for someone's HEAD ON A PLATTER.

These issues, (this report and "Brought a gun with me" incidents clearly show that the TSA is NOT keeping us SAFE, but simply costing the American Business Community $millions$ of additional dollars a year due to lost time traveling.

It's about time we fire the TSA, and institute something better. Who's up for making airline travel SAFE? (certainly NOT the TSA)

Agents Successfully Sneak Weapons Through 90 Percent Of The Time

Security screeners at Denver International Airport have some explaining to do. Last month, Transportation Security Administration screeners failed to find simulated weapons and explosive materials carried through by undercover agents roughly nine times out of 10.

Morris' explanation doesn't quite match up with a study by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General and the US Government Accountability Office, though, which in 2006 discovered widespread failures very similar to those uncovered by the Red Team at DEN.

Oh, and more TSA stup-foolery...

TSA Fails tests 90% of the time at Denver Airport (DEN)

A uniformed flight attendant was arrested at Dulles International Airport after she turned herself in for allegedly carrying a concealed handgun aboard a flight from Atlanta, authorities said Saturday.

The Transportation Security Administration, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies were investigating how the gun passed through security unnoticed in Atlanta, TSA spokesman Barry Phelps said. Flight attendants have to go through the same security procedures as all other passengers, he said.

Yet another reason Kip Hawley is an idiot.

TSA: Attendant brought gun on flight - USATODAY.com

The office in charge of protecting American technical secrets about nuclear weapons from foreign spies is missing 20 desktop computers, at least 14 of which have been used for classified information, the Energy Department inspector general reported Friday.

This is the 13th time in a little over four years that an audit has found the department, whose national laboratories and factories do most of the work in designing and building nuclear warheads, has lost control over computers used in working on the bombs.

And this is the same government agency that allowed the Sandia Labs leak a few years back...

What is it going to take to get them to LEARN?

This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the MySpace Services. By using the MySpace Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse the MySpace Website) or you are a "Member" (which means that you have registered with Myspace.com). The term "User" refers to a Visitor or a Member.

So, just how many "MySpace visitors" are presented with this T&C document? How can this even be legally binding?

MySpace get's to redefine the term "User" to mean ANYONE who links, uses, remotely even farts in the general direction of a MySpace service?

You are only authorized to use the MySpace Services (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully and save it. If you do not agree with it, you should leave the MySpace Website and discontinue use of the MySpace Services immediately.

"Regardless of whether your access or use is intended", does this mean if someone links to one of my images for their stupid media packs, that if I change it, I have to abide by THEIR T&C's?

as Ladymerlin says, "Bite Me."

Here's a great summary article on the Personal Data Privacy And Security Act Of 2007 and the SAFETY Act. (Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth.)

It's amazing. It's scary. It's real.

Congress' Split Personality

A 20-year-old Superior man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer.

The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn.

"The state believes that particular place is the best to provide treatment for the individual," Assistant District Attorney Jim Boughner said.

He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.

So,

1) He's done this before...
2) The state will evaluate him and "treat" him

And I saw another article, where his lawyer is arguing that the Dead Deer does not constitute an "animal", but a "carcass", and the law does not forbid people to have sex with "carcasses".

I just can't understand how this guy gazes at a Horse or Deer, and see's "love".
