So my friend started asking them questions about kids and cars and stuff, really messed with them for a few minutes until the realized they knew him. When they asked him how he knew things he just say "We have our ways..." Pretty entertaining to hear the stories.<BR/><BR/>Apparently people try to get guns and stuff on airplanes fairly often and then come up with excuses like "Oh... I forgot that was in my bag..." It's a mandatory $1k fine up to $5k if your obnoxious and they don't like you.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09416606644239685624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837688.post-41996909083382669132007-05-22T13:10:00.000-07:002007-05-22T13:10:00.000-07:00flop out nothing. restrict the datai don't think i...flop out nothing. restrict the data<BR/><BR/>i don't think it'd be inapropriate to list the types of preffessions represented in teh church (if people consented) but don't tie it to names. <BR/><BR/>just think of it from the crook standpoint. hmmm.... i would like to hold a doctor hostage... wait. better yet, a doctor from kasier or something. i really hate those guys... yeah... let me see... <BR/><BR/>ohhh..... heres one!<BR/><BR/>yeah.... don't post the data, not because you don't have anything to hide, but because you respect the privacy of others.k2hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171968118329398960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837688.post-79090306158670744382007-05-22T11:58:00.000-07:002007-05-22T11:58:00.000-07:00it may be NSA splitting fiber.

PBS had a great FRONTLINE <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/" REL="nofollow">'Spying on the Home Front'</A> segment discussing more intrusion into privacy in the US. Perhaps it's not really an outtage, but them working out the kinks to watch transactions.<BR/><BR/>Ironically I'm watching that last night, and a member from our church wants to put church member data on the public internet as a list of our professions, services we offer, and a 'get to know us'. I found the phone call ironically timed. If I've nothing to hid, do I flop it out there and let it get abused?forkevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612851807551897769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837688.post-64468260278234241182007-05-21T21:46:00.000-07:002007-05-21T21:46:00.000-07:00same for me, could not pay for my phone. customer ...same for me, could not pay for my phone. customer care says this is maintenance. really they at least got their servers down, and that's all of them which should not happen. maybe a drunk admin though.Monkey and bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372453247234709968noreply@blogger.com
