“They also preclude use of any communications or entertainment integrated with the plane itself for the final hour of the trip. The step not only restricts traditional services for passengers like phones and seat-mounted TV but also shuts down Wi-Fi services provided by carriers entering the US,” Electronista reports. “Strictly domestic flights aren’t affected by the restrictions.”

“The US Transportation Security Administration late Sunday implemented new rules that are likely to have far-reaching implications for technology on planes.”
Snakes have far-reaching implications for technology on planes as well.
What’s more, ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE NUT-JOBS.
Imagine not being able to get your head around the fact that once you’re dead, you’re no longer alive. You’re over. The you that once was you has ceased to exist.
It’s a much easier concept to get your head around than infinity. Why are people so gullible? So stupid? So religious?
Look at any church, cathedral, synagog, or mosque. See the big beautiful building and imagine how many people have been fleeced out of their life savings to build these phony alters to religious dogma.
Why can’t they just fight each other and leave the rest of us alone to live our lives in peace.
You folks should talk about computers. No matter how brilliant you think your comments are, no one has changed any minds about who are terrorists. And I am sure I haven’t influenced anyone either. Waste of time.
@ Big Als MBP,
So you believe that if all religion and believers thereof were eliminated from the planet earth that you and those remaining would coexist in peace? Really?
Jihadism is as old as Islam itself. The history of Islam is a history of brutal violence. That’s how they spread their evil. And ever since the last caliphate, there has been a power void for muslims which they are trying desperately to fill.
Islamofascism is NOT a product of anything the United States has or has not done. The jihadis use that as a convenient excuse – a cudgel with which to paint a veneer of legitimacy to their hatred. They were committing jihad long BEFORE the American continent was discovered by the European explorers.
The squalor in which muslims live is a product of their own cultural ineptness, and they harbor an overwhelming sense of envy and jealousy at the U.S., for simultaneously being the greatest nation on the planet…AND…being a nation founded on Judeo-Christian Western culture.
I will never understand the liberal predilection for simply not seeing things as they are. Of not being able to put the blame squarely where it belongs. In the liberal fantasy bubble, SOMEONE ELSE, is always to blame. Sheesh!
Again, educate yourselves! Don’t be intellectual cowards. It’s unbecoming.
@ HughB,
“You folks should talk about computers.”
We’re Mac users; we don’t know squat about computers either.
@ Swordmaker,
Well, there’s always the old nuclear suppository trick.
@ Spread the Wealth Baby,
You must be very proud of your mother.
@ Kendall,
Thanks. It’s not often that I get to enjoy such an insightful comment from one with a rapier wit like yours. Your mother must also be proud.
For someone who has other things to do, you certainly spend an inordinate amount of time posting drivel.
Here’s something to think about: you believe the US is the greatest nation on earth and that “Muslims” live in “squalor” because of their cultural ineptitude? When was the last time you drove through the poorer sections of _any_ US city? Ever see squalor like that? What about travelling through the rural parts of the great US? See squalor there? No, I guess you keep your blinders on.
Greatest nation on earth? How’s that universal health care working out? Oh, right, sorry–that would be socialist, so millions of Americans have to mortgage their homes to receive treatment for the cancer they’ve gotten from drinking the pesticide-laced water, all that run-off from corporate farms…
Inner-city decay, gangs, collapsing public education, whole states that are bankrupt… a corporate bail-out worth billions and billions and billions that will never be repaid while average Americans lose their homes due to foreclosures because their jobs have been outsourced… Gays who can’t marry their beloved partners because “it’s unnatural and against God’s will!”, whole theme-parks spouting creationist nonsense…
Yes, it’s great to be American, great to be Christian in that greatest nation on earth…
Tell you what, buddy boy–the Muslims pity America. Some of them so much so that they’re trying to put it out of its misery.
@ Sir Gill Bates,
“So you believe that if all religion and believers thereof were eliminated from the planet earth that you and those remaining would coexist in peace? Really?”
What part of “Why can’t they just fight each other and leave the rest of us alone” don’t you understand?
Religious wing-nut vs religious wing-nut like in the old commercial where two old, warn out politicians duke it out in the next war.
Let the leaders, the instigators take up arms and let the 18 year olds work in a fast food joint and not get killed fighting a war or wearing a bomb.
Religion has a lot to answer for, even though all religions were invented to explain the unknown. The what happens when I die.
I wonder if there will ever be a time when liberals decide to grow up, educate themselves, and discontinue their perpetual vacation from reality.
FACT: Muslims live in squalor. Every single muslim nation without exception suffers from cultural rot. And I’m happy about that. They deserve every bit of their misery and at least twice that in fact.
FACT: The United States is, in fact, the greatest nation on the planet. Not just now, but in all of history. And unapologetically so.
Mohammed was a pedophile and mass murderer. Look it up. And Allah can kiss my ass.
@ Big Als MBP,
Again, the great mass murderers of the 20th Century, Mao Tse Tung, Josef Stalin, and Adolf Hitler, were all atheists.
Down with atheists!
@Josh
Mao was raised an Taoist and for all of his embracing of Communism doesn’t seem to have given that up.
Hitler (despite all the protestations from the right-wing loons) was a Christian.
@ Big Als MBP,
“What part of “Why can’t they just fight each other and leave the rest of us alone” don’t you understand?”
I understand what you are saying, but do you really expect a logical answer? I guess it’s simply because we’re in the way.
“FACT: Muslims live in squalor. Every single muslim nation without exception suffers from cultural rot. And I’m happy about that. They deserve every bit of their misery and at least twice that in fact.”
Hahaha, hoo-boy! Now that’s a good one… Ever been to Indonesia? Malaysia? United Arab Emirates? Egypt? Jordan? The Levant (Lebanon, for you), or Turkey? Cultural rot indeed…
You do realise how ridiculous your right-wing, Christian extremism makes you sound, don’t you? I’m sure you’re posting this stuff just for lulz, because there’s no way you can actually believe it all…
This terrorist with a wad in his panties sure has gotten everyone’s panties in a wad.
Which makes me wonder when we will wake up and do the obvious-
Quit wasting time and taxpayer’s money by doing ‘indiscriminate’ searches and start profiling.
It’s called “common sense”.
Josh you ARE a crypto-Fascist troll. Well Zeig Heil to you arse-hole. You right wing students of Mussolini make me want to vomit. We progressives have no time to read your sociopath propaganda please keep your brownshirt armies at home and you won’t be the target of the whole world. It’s douche-bags like you we can’t fathom not all Americans. Don’t respond just take a long walk on a very short pier on a white water rapid. Racist supremacist bastard.
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Not all Fascist wear black.
Interesting, the “welfare queen” story and posts related to it seem to have been deleted, which is good because snopes.com has a somewhat different take:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/jasper.asp
However, the racist post from “Zoologist” picturing President Obama as a chimp and comparing Michelle Obama to a gorilla still remains.
Hmmm. Would it be considered “on topic” and relating to the TSA’s new rules?
What I don’t understand is how somebody who is on the terrorist watch list is NOT on the no-fly list.
What I don’t understand is how somebody whose father called the US Embassy to alert them that his son is converting to crazyism is NOT on the no-fly list.
What I don’t understand is that I have to pay up to 300 USD for security on international traveling so crazies are NOT being placed on the no-fly list. And I have to take my shoes off, my belt, my coat, show my laptop, the chargers for laptop, the phone and the camera, cannot pack shampoo, mouthwash, deodorant, drinks in adequate quantities, cannot buy duty free if I have to transfer in Europe or the US just so my country does not violate some human rights of some ..$hole who believes in partying with 72 hairy virgin is the ultimate pleasure.
My compassion is very limited to their believes as those who try to interfere with my chosen lifestyle do NOT grow up in slums but are usually highly educated.
I also don’t understand that somebody who pays for an airline ticket from Nigeria via Amsterdam to Detroit in CASH and does not check ANY luggage does not raise a red flag. But I get to pay exorbitant security fees with my airline ticket and for everything I purchase through higher customs fees.
Let’s just turn the tables around a bit, shall we? If you have a questionable back round or come from a questionable country it is up to YOU to proof your innocence if you want to enter the western hemisphere. The burden of you traveling to the western hemisphere should not be put on me through much higher costs and inconveniences to me.
If you turn out to be cool, you’re welcome. If not, get the hell of my plane and out of my country.
Sorry for the rant; just got back from overseas having experienced first hand the consequences of the new regulation.
Ok, first of all….. THIS IS MAC DAILY NEWS!!!
but….
…Emil, my car has an 1200 cc engine and it is more then enough.
And guys … we DO use oil but we use common sense as well.
Why do I need a 5000 cc V8 to do what? to go to Wallmart ? to go the mall? To drive a briefcase to the office and back?
If we look back in time we’ll see that every empire was made with guns not flowers. When resources run low you need to get them from somewhere.
And God forbids you guys do something else then the system needs you to do.
I will never understand the (religious person’s) predilection for simply not seeing things as they are… the (religious person’s) fantasy bubble… educate yourselves! Don’t be intellectual cowards… I wonder if there will ever be a time when (religious people) decide to grow up, educate themselves, and discontinue their perpetual vacation from reality.
I thought there was somthing funny about Josh’s rant. It really works better when directed at people who believe in invisible space gods.
Next up folks, the Zune bomb. If you don’t know where that will be hidden here is a hint: it won’t be on the lap.
@mACBONES
“Just can’t quite see what this has to do with trying to light a leg bomb on fire. Why can’t you watch a movie?”
Because if your watching a movie your not watching for other passengers to light their leg on fire.
Well think about it if you are trans fixed on a movie you probably won’t notice the guy two rows up trying to light his underwate on fire
