| Do not confuse this with the recently
| revived 1980's fictional Knight Rider TV
| series featuring a supposedly artificially
| intelligent car, which starred David
| Hasselhoff.

TSA Withdraws Subpoenas Against Bloggers
,----[ Quote ]
| In the wake of public outcry against the
| Transportation Security Administration for
| serving civil subpoenas on two bloggers,
| the government agency has canceled the
| legal action and apologized for the
| strong-arm tactics agents used.
|
| Travel writer and photographer Steven
| Frischling, who was served with a subpoena
| by two TSA agents on Tuesday, told Threat
| Level that he received a phone call
| Thursday evening from John Drennan, deputy
| chief counsel for enforcement at TSA,
| telling him the administration was
| withdrawing its subpoena.

President Obama, It's Time To Fire the TSA
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, DHS's Napolitano's response to the
| crotchbomber: "We're looking to make sure
| that this sort of incident cannot recur."
| But the TSA's response to Abdulmutalib's
| attempt makes one thing clear: We must
| stop pretending the TSA is making us
| safer.
|
| Security expert Bruce Schneier nails the
| core incompetency: "For years I've been
| saying 'Only two things have made flying
| safer [since 9/11]: the reinforcement of
| cockpit doors, and the fact that
| passengers know now to resist hijackers.'"
|
| So what has the TSA done in response to
| the attempted attack? They've told
| airlines to make passengers stay in their
| seats during the last hour of flight.
| They've made it verboten for passengers to
| hold anything in their laps, again only
| during the last hour of flight. Perhaps
| most hilariously telling, they've
| forbidden pilots from announcing when a
| plane is flying over certain cities and
| landmarks.

Long arm of law reaches into World of Warcraft
,----[ Quote ]
| The virtual world of online gaming seems
| like the perfect place to hide. There is
| plenty of anonymity, and itâs almost
| impossible for someone to trace activity
| back to its source, right? Wrong.
|
| Two weeks ago, Howard County Sheriffâs
| Department deputy Matt Roberson tracked
| down a wanted fugitive through one of the
| most popular games on the Internet â World
| of Warcraft. And he got his man.

| Despite frequent press confusion, Wikileaks

| âwikiâ is a generic term for âmass-editable
