The ACLU says Americans can refuse to give CBP agents their passwords, but at the risk of being detained and having their devices taken from them. Foreign travelers can be denied access to the country if they refuse to comply.

To be very clear, this isn’t Increasing because of Trump, it is just increasing over the past few years.

What would you do in this situation? as much as i hate it, i would probably cave and give over whatever they want after an initial protest/insiting on my right to not hand it over. No one wants to have their travel plans ruined and get stuck at the border.

Here’s a related story.

http://www.npr.org/2017/03/29/521920595/canadians-report-more-scrutiny-and-rejection-at-u-s-border-checkpoints

As a former DHS employee myself, there would have to have been a directive change, for these CBP officers to do this. They cannot just take it upon themselves to up the stakes like this at border checkpoints. It is possible that there is significant intel that admin feels confident enough to move in this direction but they certainly won’t openly share that intel with the public. At least not in significant detail. I know law enforcement would probably get the intel to keep them in the loop.

I only ever did what was required of me and nothing more. I did answer questions to the best of my ability and I made helpful suggestions to passengers so future trips would be less invasive or time consuming. That of course was in relation to flying. Border Patrol is a bit more complicated and intense with all they have on their plate.

I hope they get it sorted so that folks having a legitimate reason/need/want to enter the country can do so with minimal hassle.

Yeah isn’t that one of the warning signs the bible gives for the end times? When people start winning undeserved awards that means the end of days are upon us?

Sounds reasonable.

Read about a few things I was not aware of in this article.

Hey cool, David Fahrenthold won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. Well deserved.

OTOH, Peggy Noonan won one for commentary, which is pretty baffling.

The fact that now one can win a Pulitzer for writing a partisan political article, that opens up no new ground on anything, just blows me away. I may now have to start agreeing with those that believe the “end times” are truly here.

😦

So is 4k really that much better than 1080P? I have a few tvs, but I do all my “serious” viewing on a 1080P projector onto a 125 (not exact, I couldn’t get the room set up perfectly to make the image exactly match the screen and I’ve since been too lazy to cut the unused screen out around the image because I don’t want to replace the borders…) inch screen and it looks beautiful, would upgrading to 4K really make that huge of a difference? The picture is already crystal clear and sharp and with a very large amount of detail. And 4k projectors… well they aint cheap fellas.

If you can afford the upgrade and you really love movies … probably.

^Too bad whomever created that meme didn’t have a better imagination. That one isn’t even close to funny or ha ha funny. There has to be better ones out there.

As long as it’s actual coffee, I’m in.

Doesn’t everybody hate Full House, though?

You would think so until you see posts on the internet from people who love it so much they still think Kate & Ashley are one person.

Mae West.

My mother and my daughter share the middle name, Mae, in tribute to each other.

Hello all, I’m back. I was at a sort of camp thing for a few days. It was (mostly…) great. I didn’t post in the going away thread because I guess I forgot.

Did you at least bring innocent coffee and doughnuts back with you to share? The Dark Side loves doughnuts … and cake.

^Yeah, we can’t soil the Trump bashing thread.

Alleged NSA hack group Shadow Brokers releases new trove of exploits.

Shadow Brokers, the group behind last year’s release of hacking exploits allegedly used by the National Security Agency, has dropped another trove of files. In a Medium post today, the hacker group offered up a password giving free access to files it had previously tried to auction off.

The Shadow Brokers first came to prominence last August when they leaked exploits linked to the NSA and the Equation Group containing vulnerabilities in major firewall products. The group would later release a list of IP addresses it claimed were compromised by the Equation Group.

Shadow Brokers was hoping to auction off another set of files, but didn’t attract very much interest — or Bitcoin — in the attempt. After that failed, the group posted a “farewell message” in January and leaked a new set of Windows-related vulnerabilities.

Today’s leak from the Shadow Brokers comes with a lengthy Medium post, in which the group says it is releasing the files as a “form of protest” after losing faith in the leadership of President Donald Trump. Claiming that Trump appears to be “abandoning his base,” the post also offers a list of suggestions for how the president could “Make America Great Again.”

Security researchers are still going through the files, but many of the exploits appear to be used for attacking older or little-used systems. And at least one guy thinks this leak might lead to the unmasking of the hackers.

And then there’s this too …

Bannon fired…
Syria under US fire…
McCain/Kerry/Clinton’s ideas on fire…

Damned neo-con that are finally winning… Such a disappointment, I really thought Trump could beat these morons. Seems he needs to give them power again to avoid impeachment from his own majority. Hope he will strike back against these warmongers. So in the meantime I give Donald the benefit of the doubt.

I’m bracing myself for the quick-reverse play.

The Syrians and Iranians rally, America foiled, Iraq is a Shia puppet state, and the BIG ONE Turkey switches to the Iranian-Syrian side to attack Israel. Conservatives, “conspiracy theorists” and anti-war people will be viciously DEMONIZED as the stooges and traitors to Russia and Gog-Magog.

The Jesuits see EZEKIEL as a guide book for their staged Armageddon, casting themselves as the ones who will “evolve” into god.

I wonder if the Bushies were let-in on the entire op before 911 and running amok through the middle east.

The Clinton’s are probably over there doing more paid speeches too or paying off debts for all the contribution money that was lost.

The election was in November. My memory is faded apparently or I’m just stupid beyond belief because I do not remember anything quote for quote or word for word you said.

It is pointless to have anything other than a “Trump bashing” conversation in this thread anyways so it probably doesn’t even matter.

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up you guys. I’m sure you’re seasoned “I dodged sniper fire in Bosnia” candidate would have really been an upgrade … to Woody Woodpecker maybe.
