why comply with reasonable European laws when you can just make a malicious site and block European connections

In short:

“Our agents were left with no choice but to call Chicago Aviation Security Officers to assist in removing the customer from the flight. He repeatedly declined to leave.” The phrase, “left with no choice” is calculated and deliberate, and every rhetorical move of the preceding paragraphs is leading up to this moment. The bureaucratic state never acts of its own volition; it is always reactionary, and it always acts because the victim leaves it no choice.

I really don't like the trend of unpainted panels everywhere to move tiny amounts of weight into the floor. FIA should enforce that a certain percentage of the body be painted.

Scanning something and putting it in a bag, rather than onto the platform next to the scanner, is not theft as far as I know. The machines are set up to nag you after 0.5 seconds of not placing an item on the scale. As a young person this is annoying, but for someone who actually needs to move more slowly it has to be infuriating

We have those by me still, I love them. Except when they check the weight of every item so you can't have one person scan and another bagging.
