If your footwear is European sized, no matter what the size you must remove them for screening because you've clearly done business or traveled abroad and therefore are subject to enhanced screening. Once screened, said footwear will be turned over to ICE at the International Terminal to ensure it isn't counterfeit or infringing on a copyright. If it is, you will be subject to rendition to a secret holding cell at Disney headquarters. But if you're cleared after all this, you are free to continue to your gate where you'll have an unobstructed view of your plane taking off without you.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111222/10513817171/who-wants-to-own-righthavencom-domain-seized-about-to-be-auctioned.shtml#c102 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:59:30 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111222/10513817171/who-wants-to-own-righthavencom-domain-seized-about-to-be-auctioned.shtml#c102 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111220/03214517139/apple-may-get-to-remove-obvious-features-android.shtml#c485 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:10:09 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111220/03214517139/apple-may-get-to-remove-obvious-features-android.shtml#c485 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110207/20291112998/if-you-dont-offer-legit-versions-is-it-that-big-surprise-that-people-want-unauthorized-copies.shtml#c484 Tue, 8 Feb 2011 10:31:46 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110207/20291112998/if-you-dont-offer-legit-versions-is-it-that-big-surprise-that-people-want-unauthorized-copies.shtml#c484 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110204/01253512962/redskins-owner-sues-local-paper-over-satirical-listing-grievances-making-sure-more-people-read-it.shtml#c332 Fri, 4 Feb 2011 13:09:48 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110204/01253512962/redskins-owner-sues-local-paper-over-satirical-listing-grievances-making-sure-more-people-read-it.shtml#c332
I think the hatred of Al Davis by Raiders fans (of which I am not) is worse, but he isn't suing them (just the league and former coaching staff).
