Not surprising. Software is hard. Developrs want to develop, and usually have no knowledge or care about security, because that can come later, it keeps the product from market, or they are oblivious.

Millions of Americans will flee the coasts of Dorset, England?

Eh - all you’re doing at that point is hurrying through the scan to stand in line on the jetway.

Bill’s increasingly desperate attempts to quit the advertising industry continued to make him ever more successful in it.

Siri doesn’t know shit.  Every once in awhile I’ll ask siri something and all it does is pull up google searches.  Aside from setting timers it’s useless.
