Don't forget inland CBP checkpoints in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California and outbound border control (inspections when LEAVING the US). Papers please.

"It also seems to me that if a device has two SD cards then one of them is a clear decoy. This is a nice addition to fight unlawful seizure but clearly this is a sign that she aimed to get arrested."
Several digital cameras have double SD Card slots.
My son received a three-day suspension for voluntarily giving his Swiss Army Knife to staff before the school day started. He has neurological issues and learning disabilities and has an Educational Assistant to assist him throughout the day. According to the school, he brought a weapon on school property and they based the suspension on their version of zero tolerance and his mitigating factors.
They better not have any knives in the school cafeteria.

Re: Re: Re: Think in terms of info, then
Define "adequate warning"? Do we really need tags on electrical cords warning us to keep them away from water or children or that an INDOOR Christmas tree should be used INDOORS?
That wouldn't be the same Hollywood that moved to the west coast to make it difficult for Edison to collect royalties?
Or the Hollywood that uses "Hollywood" accounting to make all-time box office successes into financial disasters to avoid paying people a percent of net.
Or the music company that can't pay artists their royalties because they can't track them down?
Or the music company that deems the purchase of a track via iTunes to be a purchase of a licence not a purchase of a song (aka a sale) meaning way less royalties for the artist.
Hollywood and the media companies are very effective at leeching off others.
By dragging the government and the ISPs into this, the media companies are able to reduce their costs of enforcing silly IP laws. DOJ, FBI and police forces love it because it gives them a new hammer they can use for additional funds, especially if they can tie it back to organized crime or terrorism (or both).
"If it pays no taxes, year to year, then it doesn't support the nation and as such doesn't qualify for consideration."
I so despise that statement. Yes, because companies don't employ people and don't buy goods or services from other companies. Companies shouldn't be paying taxes on income in the first place.

One more thing. Comcast is not owned by Vivendi. It is a publicly traded corporation with its headquarters in Philadelphia. Vivendi did own part of NBCUniversal until Comcast purchased NBCUniversal. If Vivendi is French, then Comcast is American.
Re: Re: Re: Misleading. Whatever % US has HERE, protect it HERE!
News Corp is an American company with its headquarters in New York. It was reincorporated under Delaware General Corporation Law and is a publicly-traded corporation. Murdoch became a naturalized citizen in 1985.
It's not really secret if an article about the place was published a year ago and if you have a sign that has your agency's logo on it. And apparently, it's not very secure either.

Re: Re:
This is an area where you cannot get figures, period. There is no such thing as "losses due to piracy" on any Consolidated Financial Statement anywhere. At best, any "loss due to piracy" represents a lost opportunity of making a sale.
