The Brady case was about a constitutional right, so everyone has to follow it. And by everyone, it means the ruling applies to residents in all states. What doesn't exist is a formal procedural set of guidelines/rules on how to meet the requirement for Virginia. The rejected set of rules said things like, "You must divulge this information by this date." I agree that they seem to be treating the requirement as 'optional'.
It doesn't change the Brady requirement, even though there aren't new formal procedural guidelines. While it doesn't make it easier for defendants to get information, prosecutors still have a Brady obligation. Defense lawyers need to file complaints and seek disbarment for prosecutors that fail to live up to their obligations. Filing a federal rights case that gets class action status and results in a court ordered procedural change might achieve some of the most needed reform. Even just one Nifong level publicity case might be sufficient.
He is correct. T-Mobile is "optimizing" the data. Your confusion is based on your frame of reference. You thought it should be from a user perspective rather than T-Mobile's network view. The upper limit on network optimization would be when none of your data gets through. Infinite compression, albeit slightly lossy. Just hope Legere doesn't go further to the dark side, as in, "I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further."
I'm a Minnesota resident, and the latest info from the company I work for is that 120 day notice is required before the TSA can enforce the no-fly. Our understanding is that actual official publication of the intent to enforce hasn't occurred yet. From the DHS real-id-public-faqs, it says that until enforcement begins, state driver licenses from all states will be accepted.
Both the IG and TSA Administrator were spinning the situation in the most positive fashion possible. This gem stands out: "the system as a whole remains effective and, as a result of this series of tests, has only gotten stronger." In what possible way could the tests themselves result in an improved system? If he had said, "As a result of changes we implemented due to issues uncovered by these tests" then it *might* be credible.

You're all confused

It's worse than we thought...
