Some European airports only do that for flights to the US, though. I’ve been through lots of European airports, for intra-Europe flights, and security is pretty clearly less intense than in the United States (no judgement on whether it is less effective, just that it is easier). For example, there is rarely any…

I’m sure the TSA could afford it, but the supply of sniffer dogs is likely pretty constrained. It takes a lot of training, and the right kind of dog. Most police departments just have a couple. You’d need many times more to make them a regular presence at every checkpoint in every major (and even minor) airport, for…

For a while, Phoenix airport seemed to have sniffer dogs at the checkpoints all the time. It was actually really efficient - people walked by the dog, got a sniff without even having to stop, and then were directed through relatively easy pre-check style security (i.e. only metal detector, no need to remove shoes and…

Yeah, it sounds like she regular mailed it. But they caught her even before the Intercept published it, possibly due in part to the fact she emailed the reporter from her work computer.

Not sure it specifically says that she emailed the document itself, only that she had made email contact with the news outlet... but yeah... it literally doesn’t take an NSA security goon to figure out when an employee emails a certain news outlet from a desk computer, at work. A bright 10 year old kid could figure…

The fact that she printed them out and it was known that the media received what was a paper copy was probably enough for them to find her quickly even without the watermark.

Or just photocopy them in black and white (preferably pure black and white, not grayscale).

TOTALLY UNREADABLE, YOU BETTER SCRATCH OUT YOUR EYES!

Its called Google Translate.

You can easily, effortlessly translate it with most browsers. Welcome to the multi-lingual world.

Google Translate is built into Chrome, and there are tons of other instant translator options for other browsers. I clicked on the article, not speaking much Spanish, and it was instantly translated to nearly perfect English. Auto translation, especially Spanish > English, is getting really good.

Or they could, you know, go back to the things that Jesus told them to do (like feeding the poor, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, welcoming the stranger) and less of the bullshit they just made up (like abortion, LGBT issues, and hating on other religions). Ironically, a lot of that matches up pretty…

The main feature of the Nest is the “learning” part, though. There’s a lot of “smart” thermostats, and I bought one, the Ecobee.

the airport (30 min) and parking (30 min), then checking in and security before you board (1:30), your flight plus boarding and deboarding (4:00).

Its so funny to me when people forget about everything that leads up to the taking off and landing that happens before you arrive at your actual point of relaxation. Before they’ve even gotten on their plane I’m thinking about my first fuel stop and have probably seen a few cool things and had a couple good laughs,…

I have precheck (which can be applied to for free with lots of different credit cards), and security is always nearly stress-free. Know what the fuck you’re doing, and you can usually stroll through the metal detector without stopping. I’m sitting in an airport right now and security took about 30 seconds.

No, just carry it on. Despite popular imagination, there *is* almost always someplace to stick your bag on the plane, and bins “fill up” only because people are selfish idiots who don’t know how to economize space by putting their cases in wheels out.

Must be nice to have so much free time. Flying is great.

That’s not how grays work anymore.

No, Beckel and Williams (and the late Alan Colmes on other Fox News shows) were token liberals, and their mission on the show was NOT to actively argue against the reactionary conservative outrage-of-the-day.
