Amen to that! I quit riding for the years the kids were at home, started back up again this year...I've had several 'almosts' in the months since ~ every one, the cage driver was busy with a phone. Last week on the way to the DZ I was nearly sideswiped by an SUV ...the lady driving held up her phone to me like it was the PHONES fault! It's hard to talk or text on the Harley.

>can we drop the whole abortion ban/control issue and just let women decide for themselves? And, what about when the woman gets pregnant and the man is not only elated; but willing to be a good father, provider, husband, daddy and his choice is taken away from him. Abortion should not be used as "just" another form of birth control. What about the number of women who see it as the "quick need to fix" something.. only to spend years having Post Abortion Syndrome. Yeah, its easy to have sport sex and be absolved of the responsibility. But, there needs to be more education on sexual responsibility.

SB3427 in 2010, sponsored by Schumer & Cornyn, would have banned them, but it did not pass. I was being sarcastic. Quade's usual rhetorical slap approach was CSI 101 amateur-ish and at best only delays the inevitable. There is no such thing as a "true" burner phone. Just ways to make it a little more difficult for some telecomm State University graduate at one of the carriers and even less difficult for the 22 year old MIT graduate at FBI/NSA. It's kinda like saying that an anonymous proxy server is really anonymous. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Along those lines... Balancing Security and Liberty in the Age of Big Data A very large Internet company once had the noble impulse to share some of its data with the research community. It made three months of log files from its search service available to all. The company took many steps to preserve privacy, removing personal information and randomizing ID numbers in the belief that this would make it impossible to identify any of the more than 650,000 customers who’d used the service. But Internet hobbyists, professional researchers, and journalists were able to ferret out many of the users. No. 4417749, for example, was a Georgia widow. Another user appeared to be planning a murder. Today, the AOL (AOL) Search Log Scandal is remembered as one of the weirdest missteps in Internet history. That took place an epoch ago, way back in 2006. Now anyone with a few dollars and a knack for computers can rent some cloud capacity and set up a stack of totally free technologies to deal with enormous amounts of data. Managing this data is a key part of functioning as a large Internet company. If you’re the intelligence apparatus of a global superpower, and your job is to keep an eye on people who are contemplating terrible acts, this data is incredibly valuable. You’re going to do what you can to get your hands on it. Once you do, you can employ beautiful, supple pieces of software—some with point-and-click interfaces and little icons—to help you understand what you’re seeing. It’s powerful stuff. That’s essentially what’s been going on. From a series of leaks to the Guardian newspaper we’ve learned that Verizon (VZ) turns over logs of all its calls—the numbers, locations, and other “metadata,” but not audio from calls themselves—to the National Security Agency every day. Thanks to a 29-year-old Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) consultant named Edward Snowden, we also learned of a program called Prism. The details are uncertain: At first it seemed that companies such as Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB), and Microsoft (MSFT) had given the NSA open access to all of their user information. Now it seems that these companies are merely streamlining the way that Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act requests work, setting up a secured drop-point service for the NSA to use. Of course, this implies that there are so many requests that a special expediting system is needed—and since we don’t know how much data is being shared, nor which is domestic or international, the leak about the NSA program has become a global sensation. Public debate about how to strike a balance between security and liberty in the age of global terrorism and Big Data is long overdue. And despite the insistence of the country’s elected leaders that the NSA’s activities pose no threat to law-abiding citizens, we can’t merely shrug off the details. The total absorption of our telecommunications system into the national security apparatus should give all of us pause. But it shouldn’t be shocking. That’s because the vast digital trove of secrets amassed by the government isn’t a secret. Amid all the fury over the Snowden leak, it’s easy to forget that when asked in a March 12 hearing if the NSA collects “any type of data at all” on millions of Americans, the director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, said, “No sir, not wittingly.” Later, on NBC, Clapper offered this explanation: “What I was thinking of is looking at the Dewey Decimal numbers of those books in the metaphorical library.” Collecting data, he said, “would mean taking the books off the shelf, opening it up, and reading it.” In other words, the NSA is building a giant card catalog of human beings, many of whom are Americans. They’re not actually collecting their conversations, or the people themselves, but all the data about their conversations—not the data but the metadata. It’s entirely possible that Clapper believes he has drawn a sensible ethical line here. Yet as that AOL case in 2006 made clear, metadata can be revealing. Search histories or call logs like those the NSA ingests and presumably stores are hardly the same as Dewey Decimal numbers. They’re more like the index in the back of a book. What the NSA seems to be doing is treating hundreds of millions of people like open books and indexing them: Who are they, who do they know, where have they been, and so forth.

Please tell us you don't actually believe that. Wow. It's trivial to obtain a phone and pre-paid service that is not linked to any particular individual, at least in the US. Give it a shot. When you're setting it up, lemmee know at what point you bailed out of the process. ETA: Or you could always give Mr. Skinner a call and see how that worked for him.. In 2006 the DEA arrested a man named Melvin Skinner, who was caught transporting 1,100 pounds of marijuana across the Southwest. The government was able to catch up with Skinner by tracking the signals being emitted by his two prepaid cellphones and subsequently triangulating his location. He even lost on appeal when he used the "burner non-traceable" right to privacy defense. http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/12a0262p-06.pdf Not every pre-paid phone is a burner phone. And anonymity is just one more thing trumped by stupid. You'll notice in that case, the phones were not identified as the users' through data associated with the phone, but rather from other aspects of the investigation. The defendant was apparently too dumb to replace his phone regularly and often, and keep it turned off (with battery and SIM card removed) when not in use. (Keeping the phone in a Faraday cage should also work.) His phones were located via GPS, not a connection of the phone number to an individual. That case strongly indicates that you can't fix stupid, but it doesn't indicate that burner phones don't exist, as you claim. You & Quade are right; I'm wrong.

I spent several years in Telecommunications with a specialty in systems implementation, data security & integrity. There was a point in time when testing circuits that if we accidentally bumped on to someone's phone call; we had less than five seconds to disconnect. Not five seconds - LESS than five seconds. The phrases "anonymous" and "only metadata" are a play on words intended to minimize the significance, scale and impact of the work. In many contexts - and especially in electronic communications - the metadata can carry at least as much meaning and significance as the content. The content of a mobile phone call may just be ‘I’m coming home now’, but its metadata says where the person is and who they are contacting. Metadata aggregated over days and weeks draws a detailed picture of where the person lives, their movements, their employment and their contacts. The problem is that the Federal authorities are not forthright (transparent) about how much data is being captured, where, by whom and for what purposes. The deficit of awareness and consent is huge, and the false dichotomy of metadata and content serves only to muddle and obscure the situation. It has been suggested that masses of data can be released if it has the personal identifiers removed. If individual consent were obtained, this would be fine. But there are many who push for anonymous access to medical records without individual consent (read up on the MIB*) on the supposed basis that the individual will not be affected. The problem is that... to get useful knowledge from the data through Information Exploitation – it can be merged with other data sources – the Electoral Register, MIB, IRS, Military Records, Credit Card purchases, etc. all through "that unique identifier" that will rapidly and easily re-introduce the individual identities into the "anonymised" data. As with metadata and content, people need to be informed and their consent obtained about the myriad of ways in which data about them is being used and not at the expense of privacy and informed consent. *MIB has been the subject of ongoing controversy since the 1970s, because insurance agencies consulted MIB without telling applicants about the files. Consumers were largely unaware of the MIB’s existence until 1974 when the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Herb Denenberg threatened MIB member companies in the state to disclose their use of MIB consumer files or lose license to operate in the Pennsylvania insurance market.[8] [9] At the root of the controversy is the organization’s penchant for secrecy. For many years, insurance agencies consulted MIB without telling applicants about the files. Today, the secret continues, if to a lesser extent: MIB refuses to release the list of codes it uses.

This a massive surveillance program by the Obama Administration where the government has ordered Verizon (and presumably other carriers) to turn over all calls made within the United States and calls between the United States and other countries. The order signed by Judge Roger Vinson requires the company to turn over the phone numbers, location, duration, time and unique identifiers for all calls for all citizens. There is no effort to confine the search for individuals connected to any investigation. It is a sweeping surveillance on all citizens.

I had a similar issue when the Wings Ext came out. Myself and the female Canadian rigger at Skydive Dallas spent one evening over beer looking at it and where it hit me on my rather large but handsome self. The tuck tabs were similar to the smaller versions of the regular wings. We took it apart, redesigned the mylar tab to be longer and a little wider. I made a template of the new tuck tab and some pics and then we placed the new mylar tab back in and she restitched it. Made a few test jumps the next day and all was right again. Sent the pics and template up to Henri for review. So, my suggestion is to contact the manufacturer for some guidance on a field re-design and/or send it back to him with the pic and ask for assistance. My second suggestion is to always contact the manufacturer first; rather than appear to make a blanket negative statement against a manufacturer in a public format.
