RE: Lunar Colony
I had not considered that the "problem" the British had with Botany Bay was the lack of sterilization. Sterilization does keep the prison/colony population stable/controllable. Still even sterile prisoners/colonists were imprisoned for their uppity-ness and non-conforming attitudes. If the resulting culture is not too vicious (a al San Quentin), organized revolt seems very likely. Seems a tough box to be in; a vicious culture is not a productive prison/colony. A productive prison/colony is may organize a revolt. This does of course assume politicians dealing with today's problem (unruly citizens and dissent) care about tomorrow's problem (possible prison/colony revolt). History indicates such future-oriented thinking is unlikely :-) -Original Message- From: Jim Dixon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 1:29 PM To: John Washburn Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Lunar Colony On Mon, 19 Jan 2004, John Washburn wrote: > I would think the problem with the camp X-Ray approach is the same as > happened historically in Botany Bay or fictionally in the Moon is a > Harsh Mistress. > > When (not if) the ongoing support of the penal colony collapses what > happens? > > The children are in legal limbo; neither convict nor citizen.

RE: Lunar Colony
I would think the problem with the camp X-Ray approach is the same as happened historically in Botany Bay or fictionally in the Moon is a Harsh Mistress. When (not if) the ongoing support of the penal colony collapses what happens? The children are in legal limbo; neither convict nor citizen. (No one is going to pay the expense to ship them home). The colonists are cut off from the home world/empire. They had little love for the home world/empire in the first place. Cut adrift and left to their own devices why wouldn't the colonists/prisoners declare independence and have an interplanetary war of secession? -Original Message- From: Tyler Durden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Lunar Colony >Interesting OpEd piece in the NYT today pointing out that a manned Mars >expedition becomes *much* more affordable if no return trip is planned. >This is not a suicide mission; supplies could be sent for rest of the >emigrants natural lives, Gotcha.

Electric Bagpipe shuts down jetport
[Forwarded from the MacDude list, where we're all very happy for another reminder that bagpipes are respected as military weapons and not just as musical instruments ] http://www.pressherald.com/news/local/040114jetport.shtml An electronic bagpipe packed in a length of PVC pipe looked so much like a bomb on an X-ray machine screening baggage that officials evacuated Portland International Jetport for more than an hour Tuesday morning. The airport was shut down at 6 a.m. after one of the Transportation Security Administration passenger screeners spotted a suspicious item in the carry-on luggage of a middle-aged local businessman. The Maine State Police bomb squad was called in, and the man was interviewed by the FBI and by Portland and state police before the airport reopened at 7:45 a.m. More than 300 passengers on eight flights were delayed, but transportation officials characterized the response as appropriate. "Everything was by the book," said Portland Transportation Director Jeff Monroe. Security officials say they believe the Portland man couldn't have known how the instrument would look when X-rayed. "He didn't do anything wrong technically," said Robert Dyer, TSA's security chief for the jetport. "We've never seen one before." The man flies frequently and has not been identified as a security risk, Dyer said. He would not release the man's name. This is the first time the airport has been evacuated since a series of bomb threats four years ago, before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that led to more aggressive passenger screening. Two of the 9/11 hijackers left from the Portland jetport the morning of the attacks. The temporary closing of the jetport comes just six days after a threat was made over a marine radio to the Casco Bay Bridge. That threat shut down the bridge for several hours while it was searched. When officials shut down the jetport, planes that were parked alongside the terminal to take on passengers were moved. Incoming planes were allowed to land, but remained on the tarmac. A Philadelphia flight that had been boarding was pulled away from the terminal; it eventually left without returning to the gate area, leaving six passengers behind. The incident delayed six flights and canceled a flight bound for Albany, N.Y. The electronic bagpipe chanter consists of a cylinder with a thin metal mouthpiece at one end and a battery compartment at the other with wires connecting the components. Bagpipers often use the electronic chanter to practice because it is much smaller than traditional bagpipes. In this case, the instrument's components were packed in a protective case that consisted of white PVC pipe and caps on both ends. "That is a common way to carry a practice chanter around. That's how I keep my chanters when I'm not using them," said Susan Mack, a bagpipe instructor from Pownal. An electronic bagpipe makes sense for travelers, she said, because you can wear headphones to play it without disturbing anyone. But to a wary passenger screener, the pipe looked every bit a pipe bomb and had the things screeners watch for something resembling a blasting cap, a container of explosive, and a timer or battery to initiate the explosion. "The combination of all those wires made it look like a pipe bomb," said Portland Police Lt. Nelson Bartley. "Obviously it's good that it turned out to be something that was harmless, but we didn't know that." The screener who spotted the suspicious item at first thought it was a computer-generated image that the TSA uses as part of its ongoing testing regimen, Dyer said. The screener, whom he would not identify, pushed an alert button after determining the blue and green shapes on the X-ray screen were in a piece of luggage. That triggered a series of responses that included the Portland police converging on the gate area and removing the passenger to a secure location to be interviewed. Authorities did not rely on the man's description of the contents of his bag to cancel the alert. "Because of how it appeared on the X-ray machine, it didn't match up with what he was saying," Dyer said. Police cleared the gate area and evacuated the jetport, putting many people onto Metro buses, which were used to help keep the displaced workers and passengers warm. In all, about 400 passengers and workers were removed from the jetport. Eventually, members of the Maine bomb squad, in consultation with federal explosive disposal experts, determined the device did not pose a threat and the man was allowed to reclaim it. Flights began reboarding at 7:45 a.m. Despite the ordeal, people were good-natured and understanding, Dyer said. "We didn't have one complaint from a passenger," he said. Monroe said the incident serves as a reminder for passengers to consider what they are packing in carry-on luggage. He urged passengers to notify screeners if they are carrying items that might be considered suspicious before t
US Census Data Used in Government Passenger Profiling Test
Several sources have been reporting that NorthWest Airlines are yet another group of collaborators giving out personal information on their travellers. However, Bill Scannell's been looking at the FOIA information that EPIC received, and apparently some of the projects that have used that data have been matching it with 1990 US Census data - you know, the stuff they promised would be kept private for 75 years, etc. -- Bill Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message Subject: [DontSpyOnUs] Northwest Airlines Shares Passenger Data From: Bill Scannell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, January 18, 2004 11:36 pm Northwest Airlines Shares Passenger Data Northwest Airlines gave the full Passenger Name Records (PNRs) of almost a half million of their customers to NASA researchers for testing a CAPPS II-like system. The PNRs contained everything one would normally give to an airline or travel agent, including credit card details. The PNRs were from passengers who flew the airline from July through September of 2001. The PNRs were combined with US census data in order to find 'outliers' - people who did not fall into predefined categories. Read the full story at: http://www.dontspyon.us/census.html SCANDAL: US Census Data Used in Government Passenger Profiling Test The US government used data from the 1990 census and the records of close to a half million Northwest Airlines passengers in a test of a CAPPS II-like program. The government's use of census data to single-out and profile American citizens is not only outrageous, but possibly illegal. If the US census is turned into yet another tool Homeland Security uses to spy on our own people, the census will become worthless. Who in their right mind would tell census-takers the truth if it were known the information one gave would be used by the state to snoop? The US census would become about as useful at the information given when one registers with a website: we would become a nation that -at least on paper- was populated by 99 year-old millionaire grandmothers from Albania. ---
