The Canadian Border Fence Is the Climax of Isolationism

Posted on by

“This is not 1812, and the US isn’t going to be invaded from the North. Canada is not only a US ally, it is a member of the ‘Five Eyes‘ group­ — an unparalleled intelligence sharing relationship that exists between the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.  Illegal immigrants are not flooding over the border, and any security threats quickly known by both countries security forces. Securing the Canadian border is both pointless and absurd, and the estimated $15 billion price tag would make even Donald Trump think twice.  Thankfully, not all Republicans share Walker’s policy preferences.  Both Rand Paul and Jeb Bush both ridiculed Walker’s idea.”

Blogging about Cops Is Not a Crime – Even If You’re on Probation

Posted on by

“Darren Chaker was under supervised release when he wrote on his personal blog that Ms. Leesa Fazal, an investigator with the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, was ‘forced out’ of her previous post with the Las Vegas Police Department.  That statement, according to the district court ultimately overseeing Chaker’s probation, was a violation of the requirement that he ‘not … disparage or defame others on the internet’ — and so Chaker was returned to prison.  If the anti-disparagement provision of Chaker’s supervised release becomes widespread, it could easily stifle valuable speech by activists and others.”

TSA inadvertently shows the dangers of master baggage keys

Posted on by

“Security researchers have long warned of the dangers of using master-keyed locks — if thieves get their hands on just one key, they compromise all of the compatible locks at the same time. And unfortunately, the US’ Transportation Security Administration is learning this lesson the hard way. It briefly let the Washington Post show a photo (we’ve blurred the details) of the master baggage keys it uses for approved locks, giving crooks a crude guide to making duplicates. And you can’t just switch to a non-standard lock to get around this, since TSA agents will rip it off if they catch it during an inspection.”
