"You don’t know which neighbour has committed the crime but you are linked to each other by the street you live on and therefore you are ‘associated’ to that neighbour. As a result, you are also arrested for the crime and you are guilty by default! There is no unbiased court case or appeals procedure because the decision is final and you cannot find anybody to contact to get your case re-heard!"

That kind of shit happens all the time.

All budgeting problems aside, how do TSA officers put their lives on the line?

I am so sad about this. There is nothing good that I see coming out of this, but I hope that's just my bias. Red Hat has been a huge contributed to Linux and open source for years, I want to keep my Fedora!!

False. Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
