10/4 Someone please tell me why making airport security screeners to be
federal employees going to help? I've seen government employees and
they're still underpaid, laid back, and don't give a damn about you.
\_ as opposed to airline employees?
\_ just look at it this way: they can't get any worse.
\_ Federalizing security means that the employees have to go through
a basic security check, get paid on a wage scale, get benefits,
and can make it into a career. It's also a draw for those just
leaving the military. Crimes against airport security become
federal crimes and can draw on the resources of the military.
\_ The law also allows the fed to conduct polygraphs test on all
Federal employees.
\_ I thought the US military is not allowed to act against US
civilians even if the civilians are criminals.
civilians even if the civilians are criminals. Is it written in
the constitution or something?
\_ You have made an unpatriotic statement. Report to the termination
vats immediately.
\_ ^termination vats^Al Qaeda training camps
\_ how is this statement relevant? -jon
\_ The previous poster said "...... federal crimes and can
draw on the resources of the military."
\_ A better response might be "why is this bad engrish"?
anyway, the US Military has been called upon to commit
acts against US citizens before. EO 9066 --jon
\_ I had also meant to write ".. draw on the resources of
the federal government." I was thinking of the FBI and
the newly created Office of Homeland Protection. Better
resources than the local politzi.
resources than the local politzi. Plus federal money
to fund better security toys. |

10/3 Anybody know of a cheap service that will redirect a registered
domain name to some place? I registered http://foo.com and I want
http://www.foo.com to point to http://bar.com. Yahoo has such a service for
$35/year. I'm looking for cheaper ones. Thanks.
\_ do you want HTTP redirects, or just a DNS pointer making http://www.foo.com
resolve the same as http://bar.com? If the latter, if you register with
http://register.com, you use their nameservers and can use their domain
manager to do that 'for free' (its included in registration costs).
-ERic
\_ http://zoneedit.com... free for the first 5 domain names. I use it and
it works well. <DEAD>granitecanyon.com<DEAD> is totally free but it takes a
longer time for changes to go through etc. http://gandi.net is a good
cheap registrar and they include redirection when you have your
domain name there. But they're based in France, which according
to one of the posts above will get bombed out of existence soon,
so I guess you're taking your chances. |
