What's to stop you encrypting your data and storing it somewhere on the internet instead of taking a physical copy through a checkpoint?

If a terrorist wants to bomb a plane, he's going to need to smuggle a bomb past security, so checking people for bombs isn't exactly a stupid idea (whether the balance between safety, security, privacy, and theatrics is good is a whole different matter). But if he's got some "terrorist data" to move around, why would he physically carry it?

It'll always be a pling to me.

So in other words... he printed to printers.

Pretty sure it's the same in the UK.

You should have another think about my admittedly facetious question.

Not that you should need to, since others have already explained my point, and you've apparently avoided addressing it.

Have you heard of "tides" at all?

0 is a number.

Oh, sure, wait and see. You know who else had a "wait and see" attitude? Jim Henson. And now we have wrong-sounding muppets.

Didn't they say the same thing about those very nuclear reactors you're proposing to build when the idea was first mooted?

How did they even test it? It is pretty astonishing. I mean, just look at how many tries it took SpaceX to get booster landing right.

How many years is it now?

Jesus. I was just asking. No need to get snippy.

What you linked to says pretty much what the AC said:

What are you blathering on about?

Does it? How?

All of the other units are currently being considered for redefinition.
