@Justin Danser: While you're right about the fact that one way or another, these animals are going to get eaten, I have to disagree with your dismissal of this issue.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: Yeah, I'm talking 2000 or so. I'm old, you see.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: Was a time where that was exactly the criteria. As long as you could drink it, it could go through security.

I called Microsoft and told them about my awesome idea for Windows 7. I'm a PC, and Windows 7 was my, what? Windows XP? Oh, nevermind.

Two years ago I was getting on a flight with a colleague. We were flying from one job to the next, and standing on the jetway, waiting to board the plane, I noticed he had a razor knife in the mesh outer pocket of his backpack. It was the kind that folds up, with a removable blade. It really could not be mistaken…

@Withidread: You don't need tangible evidence to create probable cause. A police officer can search your car if he smells marijuana; the court is going to believe him. They can't require the officer to produce the marijuana smoke he smelled, can they? At that point, it's the word of the officer vs. yours.

@TheCrudMan: Not only that, but if an expert could be called in to say that the image does not warrant a search, there's all the more reason for TSA to not save the images.

@TheCrudMan: Theoretically, scanner images wouldn't be necessary.

It sucks, because if you're paying for the service, you should be able to do what…

@hntergren: Sorry if my snark crossed the line into a personal attack. That wasn't intended. I guess I just got a little carried away. I was trying to illustrate a point, that no matter what kind of music one likes or what era we're discussing, when it comes to the music industry (and the key word here is industry),…

@ThePr1nce: Seriously? The Presidents of the United States of America? What is this, 1994?

@evool: Not necessarily. Is OJ on trial this week?

@Calrekabooki: OK Go is not signed. They left their record contract earlier this year, and have been distributing their own music.

@hntergren: And when, exactly, were those days?

@Raidenshred: You are not MacGyver. MacGyver has a mullet. You, sir, do not have a mullet. You're not fooling anyone.
