U.S. Presidential Limo Defeated by Steep-Grade Parking Ramp
It’s not something I know anything about—actually, it’s not something many people know about—but I’ve posted some links about the security features of the U.S. presidential limousine. So it’s amusing to watch the limo immobilized by a steep grade at the U.S. embassy in Dublin. (You’ll get a glimpse of how thick the car doors are toward the end of the video.)
EDITED TO ADD (6/1): It was a spare; the president was not riding in it at the time.
EDITED TO ADD (6/13): Here’s a video of President Bush’s limo breaking down in Rome.
Jury Says it's Okay to Record the TSA
The Seattle man who refused to show ID to the TSA and recorded the whole incident has been cleared of all charges:
[The jury] returned not guilty verdicts for charges that included concealing his identity, refusing to obey a lawful order, trespassing, and disorderly conduct.
Papers, Please! says the acquittal proves what TSA critics have said all along: That checkpoint staff have no police powers, that contrary to TSA claims, passengers have the right to fly without providing ID, and yes, passengers are free to video record checkpoints as long as images on screening monitors aren’t captured.
“Annoying the TSA is not a crime,” the blog post states. “Photography is not a crime. You have the right to fly without ID, and to photograph, film, and record what happens.”
And a recent Dilbert is about the TSA.
