This definitely wouldn't be something they'd put on television, notably because the video mentions MSNBC.com, most likely this was done by one of the websites' interns.]]> Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110526/08131414441/18-senators-who-approve-breaking-internet-to-protect-hollywood.shtml#c645 Thu, 26 May 2011 16:33:06 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110526/08131414441/18-senators-who-approve-breaking-internet-to-protect-hollywood.shtml#c645 Sad http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110526/12453914444/texas-politicians-back-off-anti-tsa-bill-after-being-warned-potential-flight-loss.shtml#c73 Thu, 26 May 2011 16:21:12 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110526/12453914444/texas-politicians-back-off-anti-tsa-bill-after-being-warned-potential-flight-loss.shtml#c73 Re: Possibility http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/02012914349/senator-leahy-supports-bringing-drugs-canada-also-banning-such-sites-internet.shtml#c59 Tue, 24 May 2011 17:09:02 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/02012914349/senator-leahy-supports-bringing-drugs-canada-also-banning-such-sites-internet.shtml#c59 Possibility http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/02012914349/senator-leahy-supports-bringing-drugs-canada-also-banning-such-sites-internet.shtml#c48 Tue, 24 May 2011 16:54:25 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/02012914349/senator-leahy-supports-bringing-drugs-canada-also-banning-such-sites-internet.shtml#c48 Re: The Judge http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c336 Tue, 24 May 2011 16:47:51 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c336 Re: This is of course Illegal http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/00563014409/feds-seize-more-poker-sites.shtml#c314 Tue, 24 May 2011 16:41:24 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/00563014409/feds-seize-more-poker-sites.shtml#c314 This sort of sheds light on how they run things.]]> Re: Heh? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110519/00514514334/author-walter-jon-williams-asks-fans-to-help-him-pirate-his-own-works-better.shtml#c21 Tue, 24 May 2011 16:22:25 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110519/00514514334/author-walter-jon-williams-asks-fans-to-help-him-pirate-his-own-works-better.shtml#c21 Re: Re: Re: Re: Isn't it ironic, don't you think? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c117 Tue, 24 May 2011 12:59:27 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c117 1590]]> Re: Re: Isn't it ironic, don't you think? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c90 Tue, 24 May 2011 12:46:52 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/09084614414/judge-hangover-2-can-still-be-released-tattoo-artist-may-prevail-end.shtml#c90 Re: Re: in what time frame? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/01061314348/please-help-us-figure-out-how-much-public-has-lost-due-to-overprotective-anti-copy-laws.shtml#c212 Tue, 24 May 2011 09:59:54 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110520/01061314348/please-help-us-figure-out-how-much-public-has-lost-due-to-overprotective-anti-copy-laws.shtml#c212 Textbox limits http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110521/15512514376/universal-music-we-need-protect-ip-because-musicians-are-dying.shtml#c566 Mon, 23 May 2011 11:48:59 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110521/15512514376/universal-music-we-need-protect-ip-because-musicians-are-dying.shtml#c566 Bravo http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110522/15562714383/open-letter-to-sony-ceo-howard-stringer.shtml#c280 Mon, 23 May 2011 11:42:59 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110522/15562714383/open-letter-to-sony-ceo-howard-stringer.shtml#c280 Procedural? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/17251614307/dhs-boss-very-very-very-few-people-get-pat-down-reality-18-million-people-per-month.shtml#c26 Wed, 18 May 2011 08:52:58 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/17251614307/dhs-boss-very-very-very-few-people-get-pat-down-reality-18-million-people-per-month.shtml#c26 website:
You will next walk through a metal detector, (or you may request a pat-down inspection instead). Additional screening occurs when an individual sets off the alarm on the metal detector, or if he or she is selected for the additional screening. This screening includes a hand-wand inspection in conjunction with a pat-down inspection that includes the torso. A pat-down inspection complements the hand-wand inspection. In order to ensure security, this inspection may include sensitive areas of the body. Security Officers are rigorously trained to maintain the highest levels of professionalism. You may request that your pat-down inspection be conducted in private.


This seems like a bit much to go through however it stipulates that this only happens when you set off an alarm or request it. Sounds to me that there may be a few people out there that don't mind being touched so much.]]> Re: Re: Offbase http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/12313814301/4th-amendment-what-4th-amendment-supremes-say-police-can-create-conditions-to-enter-home-without-warrant.shtml#c520 Tue, 17 May 2011 17:03:47 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/12313814301/4th-amendment-what-4th-amendment-supremes-say-police-can-create-conditions-to-enter-home-without-warrant.shtml#c520 Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/12313814301/4th-amendment-what-4th-amendment-supremes-say-police-can-create-conditions-to-enter-home-without-warrant.shtml#c480 Tue, 17 May 2011 16:53:34 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/12313814301/4th-amendment-what-4th-amendment-supremes-say-police-can-create-conditions-to-enter-home-without-warrant.shtml#c480 Re: Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/13460914302/senator-leahy-wants-to-update-digital-privacy-law-some-good-some-bad.shtml#c64 Tue, 17 May 2011 16:51:43 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/13460914302/senator-leahy-wants-to-update-digital-privacy-law-some-good-some-bad.shtml#c64 Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/13460914302/senator-leahy-wants-to-update-digital-privacy-law-some-good-some-bad.shtml#c57 Tue, 17 May 2011 16:46:03 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110517/13460914302/senator-leahy-wants-to-update-digital-privacy-law-some-good-some-bad.shtml#c57
