Now we have the scampaign take back, that I partly predicted. Romney is in trouble for “extreme bullying” in high school. So that ought to bounce the public back from Obama’s “gay marriage Ok” bomb. And Clooney has come out in support of Obama too. So you can’t fault the Hollywood celebs’ causes, right? So if this Romney the bully thing blows up big enough. Then Obama will have to counter with something else to anger the US voters.
THE-BEST-COVER-EVER-!
Thanks! I made it!
I think by “exploiting”, they don’t mean they’re using news of the underwear bomb just to scare us. Rather they’ve put this IED design into their arsenal of devices they can use to take out people. Probably not as underwear. Because that would mean an agent would have to be willing to go up with it. But they could sneak this kind of explosive passed other nations’ security, hidden inside something, like luggage. To take out some official or political liability, they’ve targeted for assassination.
Now…. as far as I know, all effective explosives rely on nitrogen based compounds. And a strong enough concentration, can be detected by trained dogs or sensitive chemical detectors. Radiation scanners aren’t going to detect a bomb, if it’s some kind of non-solid compound. And unless they assemble it in extremely clean conditions, and hermetically seal it. Some nitrogen residue is bound to leak out or adhere to external parts of the bomb. It’s not impossible to 100% seal and keep clean. Just extremely difficult. Which a US weapon contractor probably could do. But not some amateurs working in a kitchen in a rented apartment.
So I don’t know why we don’t hear more about airport machines sniffing for significant nitrogen levels. Unless they do it anyway, on the sly. Why else are people contained inside a glass tube, when they’re being body scanned? A radiation scan couldn’t be contained by glass, unless it’s highly leaded. And I suspect these scanner “tubes” are explosion proof. In case the subject’s hidden bomb goes off, triggered by the scanner or just set off early. And once you’re inside the tube, they can keep you in there until the bomb squad arrives. There may even be a gas they can release inside, to knock out the bomber. They can tell the onlookers that the person just fainted. They’d believe that. Wouldn’t you?
Btw, was there Global Warming, Climate Change, or extreme climate, back when they filmed “The Wizard of Oz” in 1939? Because if you remember the movie, a tornado hit the home of Dorothy. And it wasn’t an unplanned for occurrence. Since the family had a drill, to take cover in the root cellar. So why is all today’s weather labeled as extreme climate?
Also, high temperatures in south western US is not all that unusual. I checked the 1954 movie, “Them!” And when James Arness first appears, it’s mentioned that it must be 110°F out on the desert. That was supposedly in New Mexico. Why would the movie invent extreme climate temps, back in 1954, if it wasn’t a common condition? And that’s nothing!
The Western Hemisphere’s highest recorded air temperature of 134°F (in the shade) was recorded at Death Valley Ca, in the USA on 10 July 1913. That’s nowhere near the hockey stick’s business end.
But now, every time it hits 105 degrees in Texas, Arizona, or Nevada, the Tv news makes it sound like it’s so unusual. BS! The world’s highest recorded air temperature, to date, is 136°F recorded at El Azizia, Libya, on 13 September 1922. That’s almost 90 years ago! And it was likely hotter before recorded history. Before, humans had cars, trucks, for factories, that might be blamed for raising earth’s temperature. So how the hell are any solutions to any warming happening now, going to be effective? If they’re entirely based on the theory of “reversing” something humans are responsible for. You can’t reverse a causative factor that doesn’t exist. You can only interfere with a naturally occurring factor (like solar flares) that causing any warming. And that kind of tinkering can be dangerous.
Mirrors in the desert? Yeah, I bet Corning Glass is lining up to do that one. Does Al Gore have stock in these mirror makers? Besides, if Dvorak is right, and they want to cause an ice age. Al Gore’s oil will be even more valuable, keeping us from freezing in our homes. A warmer earth, just means people can live farther north and south of the equator. It would take an extreme heating up to make the whole world unlivable. But cool it off several degrees, and we’ll be forced to live below the fortieth parallel. Canada and the UK will be a frozen waste. But the coal and oil interests will thrive. So we’ll be frosty slaves.

Re: The FBI is pushing its backdoor to software companies
As a professional software developer it seems to me the real reason to put a uniform programming interface onto Facebook and email and every other software that may or may not already be easily accessible by humans working at the US government spy agencies, is to simplify the software development of a single giant vacuum cleaner program. Oh by the way that’s exactly what we were told the NSA might be developing in other news.
This note is in response to John Dvorak’s recent This Week In Tech roundtable discussion in which the guests wonder about the utility of the federal government’s new backdoor marketing program, when they always had the ability already.
It’s all about moving away from a one-at-a-time investigation, toward a highly automated all-at-once, 24×7 investigation. I guess investigation is not the appropriate word for it.
The appropriate word is surveillance.
