Re: TSA screenings aren't just for airports anymore

It could be claimed that you consent to a search as part of a contract you enter when purchasing a plane ticket. Searching people exiting trains is blatantly illegal though.

Communities need to elect local law enforcement leaders that are willing to round up and evict feds that break the law.

Just intuitively, I see no purpose for a second expansion chamber at the exit end, where pressure is at its lowest.

Re: Obama: Only Three Other Presidents Outrank Me

FDR... a lot of parallels there.
Declaration of government control over private property.
Unconstitutional indefinite detention of a perceived threat.
Inheriting a fucked up economy and making it worse.
I agree.

Re: Treason in congress.

Actually, I'm confused at this point too. Section e was recently added and appears to place it in compliance with Posse Comitatus/5a/6a.

Treason in congress.

Is nobody else a little shocked by the blatant attacks on the constitution over the past month? NDAA is a blow to the 5th and 6th amendments. SOPA goes after the 1st. These are brazen non-partisan treasonous actions. Everyone seems to be distracted by the primaries while this is happening. You've ch...

He's got a point. The tea party has been getting tricked by the big-gov republicans like Gingrich for some time.

Re: ATF Rulling on Pistol-Rifle-Pistol

This is also good news to Ruger charger owners. The original ATF agent's opinion letter that claimed the SCOTUS ruling applied ONLY to TC really didn't hold any water. I've been following the Supreme Court's interpretation, and it's refreshing to hear I'm no longer felonious.

Re: iPhone tethering app now available

This just isn't true with tmo or stock android. What you pay for is a tethering app on carrier-modified phones. If your phone does this by default, your tethering fee is your data fee. When/if this becomes a problem, they will need to stop selling "unlimited" data plans and sim cards for d...

Re: iPhone tethering app now available

That may be the case with at&t and apple. Carriers can charge you for tethering if you are using their phone. Since the phone is unlocked and mine, data is data, regardless of the end device, and I pay a flat rate for unlimited.

I have not owned a PC without wifi since the late 20th century. Right, but if there is no wifi around, the phone can pull in 3g and broadcast internet over wifi like a router. This is specifically useful when you want to use the PC in an area with no wifi. As long as android does this by default, I...

My 10/22 rotary mags start to fail in less than a brick. It's a great design, but there is nowhere for the carbon to go in them. Standard mags allow the carbon to settle at the bottom.
