DHS vs. your data

Filed under: Posts — clgood @ 14:22

The unionized, moronic, jackbooted goons in charge of the orwelian kabuki theater known as “airline security” are bad enough. Now customs officials are seizing laptops and cameras without cause.

The security value of the program is unclear, critics say, while the threats to business and privacy are substantial. If drives are being copied, customs officials are potentially duplicating corporate secrets, legal records, financial data, medical files, and personal E-mails and photographs as well as stored passwords for accounts from Netflix to Bank of America. DHS contends that travelers’ computers can also contain child pornography, intellectual property offenses, or terrorist secrets. (Emphasis added)

Suggestions:

  • Encrypt your hard drive before travel.
  • Do a Carbonite backup before returning home and then wipe the drive.
  • Eat a lot of beans before going through Customs, if you know what I mean.

This is just absurd.

Far be it from me to call Mohammad a pedophile

So I’ll let one of his followers do it.

The Prophet Muhammad is the model we follow. He took ‘Aisha to be his wife when she was six, but he had sex with her only when she was nine.

Interviewer: When she was six…

Dr. Ahmad Al-Mu’bi: He married her at the age of six, and he consummated the marriage, by having sex with her for the first time, when she was nine. We consider the Prophet Muhammad to be our model.

Oh, he waited until she was nine. That’s OK then.
