While perhaps not as stylish (depending on your taste), I really like the dirt-cheap (like $10-$20) clip-on ones that you can find at Target and the likes. The clip makes them useful all over the place, and they tend to be flexible, so you can bend them in weird positions to meet awkward lighting requirements.

So then we should ban sleeping as well. And using headphones with the in-flight entertainment, which is typically on throughout the entire flight (take off/landing included).

My logic is sound, your warped sense of reality is what needs to be looked at.

Ugh, sorry, your comment caught me in the middle of sifting through comments from morons. Very, very, very sorry :)

Thank you for the intelligent response. I really do appreciate the rare, mature conversation I can find on here.

My comment was in reply to "All of which is to say, it is absolutely absurd that Twitter refuses to cooperate". RTFP

Yeah I'm so fucking stupid for wanting some of my rights to not be trampled all over. STFU.

A few pages in and it looks like their argument is that the Galaxy isn't an iPhone clone because it's no where near as good.

Can you please cite some case/statutory law that says it is illegal to make vague threats regarding things you might do in the future to no one in particular? That's a serious question. If it's illegal, I'll concede. I just don't believe that it is.

Out of curiosity, what other (perfectly legal) actions, in your opinion, should result in the stripping of a citizen's rights?

I believe that is lacking the "immediate show of force" that is required for assault.

I am by no means questioning your knowledge on this topic, as you're clearly a better source on the topic than I am, but would you mind pointing me to some references? I'm legitimately curious what the (case) law is in this area. I understand Schenck v. United States (or at least I think that I do), but I don't…

As someone else said, we voted for the representation that brought us here. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We also complied. I realize it's scary to not comply with the TSA, but imagine what would happen if no one did? The fact that compliance is high is acceptance.

Thank you, Danny. It's nice to run into someone likeminded on here.

That's absolutely true. They both have issues. The discussion, though, is about the combination of these two "exploits", and the amount of damage that can be done on the Apple side is far worse than on Amazon.

I was being sarcastic :)

That's a slippery slope, though. Where is the line drawn? What if someone says they want to kill someone in particular? Or what if someone says they want to blow something up? Or what if after a bad day of work, someone makes some joke in poor taste about "going postal" on their workplace?

Exactly. Amazon may have their own issues that allow for someone to access information you wouldn't want them to access via social engineering (it looks like they can gain access to your account, but Amazon's standard security practices prevent the person from using your stored CC's to purchase items and ship them to…

LOL great detective work! Someone at Gizmodo hire this man!

Exactly what DrMosesTrue said.
