@Vette956: This wasn't written for Gizmodo, it was written for Popular Science, and then REPOSTED on Gizmodo.

@Kakkoii: "I feel it's more likely that this thing we are attributing as time slowing down, is merely the slowing down of matter/energy"

Of course they do; They don't have to pay them, so there's no reason for them to cost more than an average grunt. Yet mixed with that, they have the ability to do things that ordinary grunts can't do, like sniff out drugs and explosives. This stands them in good stead when it allows them to sense explosives before…

@muchdrama_: And that's the way it SHOULD be.

@chefgon: To an extent, there is a difference between the LPs doing that and any other employee doing that.

@descendency: I've gotten more training on how to effectively handle firearms from the BSA than I ever will get from games.

@Ccomfort: there's also the issue of the messy man-cave.

@zakany001: It's like the ability to have a non-cash rent; For those who don't have disposable income, it gives a second route to making the service more useable.

@a_guy_named_ryan: The Twitter user in question is a Republican Senator from Iowa; This article seems to have political motivation more than anything else.

@zekestone: There are only two ways I can see this TSA bullshit going away; Either the agency is shut down by peacable means (legislative, judicial, and/or executive action), or such behavior will be discouraged by citizens using force to protect their rights.

@Shamoononon: She is being called a "sexual assaulter" because that is what she did. She, as a living, breathing, THINKING human being (that's what Homo Sapiens means: Man who thinks), she has the ABILITY to make a CHOICE as to whether or not she wants to sexually assault people; She has chose to do so, thus the…

@MifuneT: That assumes that the machine is properly maintained and calibrated.

@complextinction: "Finally, what makes me most upset, is that so many people don't get what the big deal is, and are telling those of us that have a problem with it, to suck it up. When people have their rights infringed upon, its not your place to tell them to deal with it. You wouldn't say that to a Jew in a…

@smirkette: You mention getting groped at PHL; At which checkpoint/terminal were you groped, and did they have porno-scanners at the same checkpoint?

@ImmaLion: "I wonder when terrorist attacks by americans against TSA will start."

@Streets_Ahead: That's part of the problem; The person doing the patdown is the same sex as the person on the reciving end.

@ninjamurf: That's covered out of R&D and/or the other ~70% remaining...

@iceph03nix: This. The other problem I have with cheap bic-style ballpoint pens is their uneven ink distribution; It drives me off the cliff with OCD.

@lordargent: Precisely. That solution is also cheaper than the one above, as it doesn't require a complicated arrangement to bend the tube while maintaining a consistent interior diameter and/or volume.
