I kinda wonder what exactly prevents terrorists from buying up a bunch of drones, arming them with explosives, maybe doing a bit of tinkering to allow for higher speed/altitude/rage at the expense of battery life and then sending them to some major even like a football match or a concert. Seems like a better plan than whatever the idiots in Paris did.

Interesting article on the subject:
http://www.athleticbusiness.com/stadium-arena-security/drones-emerging-as-security-threat-at-domestic-sporting-events.html
For a big event, like the Superbowl, a big drone-free perimeter several miles in radius gives security plenty of warning. And stadiums already have large-scale signal-jamming ready to go; if you can shut down cellphone bands during a bomb threat, you can shut down RC frequencies as well.
If that fails, you can bet that the snipers they keep on the roof during events like that have already started training to shoot those things out of the sky.

>A Massachusetts couple has been fighting for three years to regain cash they say was wrongfully seized from them. In October 2012, the Illinois State Police pulled over Adam and Jennifer Perry for speeding as they were driving through Henry County on Interstate 80. The Perrys said they were headed to Salt Lake City, Utah to see a hearing specialist for an ear infection Adam was suffering from.
>A drug dog sniffed and indicated on the car. Officers then searched the vehicle and found $107,520 in cash in a suitcase and in Jennifer’s wallet. The Perrys claimed the search was without their consent and without a warrant. According to the officers, they also found a duffel bag that reportedly smelled of marijuana.
>No drugs were found in the car, nor did the government file criminal charges against the Perrys. Nevertheless, officers seized the cash and eventually transferred it to the federal government.

This is making the rounds on reddit, and everyone agrees that using civil forfeiture for this is wrong. Am I the only one who sees that these are two drug dealers who just sold a duffel bag full of weed and were speeding back home with their $100k and got busted for being stupid?

For my two cents, this is wrong as hell and just goes to show how utterly broken our legal system is that this should happen in the first place, much less actually have to be battled out for SEVERAL YEARS.

What's the point of ethanol when oil is like $5 a barrel?

>>11888
cleaner emissions, relevant in California because CA has stringent air pollution standards. Converting an otherwise noncompliant vehicle from diesel to ethanol or natural gas (or even propane) is a cheap way of making compliance AND averting cap-and-trade pollution taxes. Many bus agencies and power companies (such as PG&E) already made the switch
however, due to the nature of ethanol (it has to be imported from the midwest), most companies prefer NG or propane because it's more plentiful and readily available

On one hand, it's a nice gesture for Muslims to "guard" a church. On the other hand, that raises the uncomfortable question of why a church in France would need guarding, and from whom.

>>Barack Obama’s repeated insistence that Bashar al-Assad must leave office – and that there are ‘moderate’ rebel groups in Syria capable of defeating him – has in recent years provoked quiet dissent, and even overt opposition, among some of the most senior officers on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
>>The military’s resistance dates back to the summer of 2013, when a highly classified assessment, put together by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, then led by General Martin Dempsey, forecast that the fall of the Assad regime would lead to chaos and, potentially, to Syria’s takeover by jihadi extremists, much as was then happening in Libya.
>>The document showed, the adviser said, ‘that what was started as a covert US programme to arm and support the moderate rebels fighting Assad had been co-opted by Turkey, and had morphed into an across-the-board technical, arms and logistical programme for all of the opposition, including Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State. The so-called moderates had evaporated and the Free Syrian Army was a rump group stationed at an airbase in Turkey.’
>>‘If the American public saw the intelligence we were producing daily, at the most sensitive level, they would go ballistic,’ Flynn told
>>The DIA’s reporting, he said, ‘got enormous pushback’ from the Obama administration. ‘I felt that they did not want to hear the truth.’
>>The Joint Chiefs felt that a direct challenge to Obama’s policy would have ‘had a zero chance of success’. So in the autumn of 2013 they decided to take steps against the extremists without going through political channels, by providing US intelligence to the militaries of other nations, on the understanding that it would be passed on to the Syrian army and used against the common enemy, Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State.

In a speech recently, the prime-minister of Britain said "As a Christian country, we must remember what his birth represents: peace, mercy, goodwill and, above all, hope." Some are outraged that he's claiming it's a Christian country, What does /news/ think?

No we're not, and Christmas has never had anything to do with Christianity. Christians have tried their damnedest to ban Christmas time and time again, why should we honour their made-up god on our yuletide festival?
>>
>>11484
You say "our yuletide festival", yet many here aren't from those origins and don't celebrate the pagan festivals (like saturnalia). And if that is what we celebrate, why the 25th?
>>
We as a country made Christmas what many see it as today, a Christian holiday... Literally Christ's Mass. Why when we've created this connection should it not be true that we as a country are Christian? Looking at the statistics 72% of Britain's are Christian.

>Newly unsealed court documents obtained by The Intercept reveal the Justice Department won an order forcing Google to turn over more than one year’s worth of data from the Gmail account of Jacob Appelbaum (pictured above), a developer for the Tor online anonymity project who has worked with WikiLeaks as a volunteer. The order also gagged Google, preventing it from notifying Appelbaum that his records had been provided to the government.

Haven't looked into the details of the study, but it is counter to what I've been told was female peek fertility (between the ages of 16 and 28).
Does this mean it's ok, or even recommended for females to put off having children until their 30s?

Complete bullshit. The optimal time period for females to have kids is between the late teens and late 20s. Having a baby in your 30s is higher risk and decreases iq and increases disease risk for your children. This is basic biology. Sperm also has more dna errors as t levels drop after about 26 and I guess they're shilling this to dumb down the population even further.
