Passenger cleared after TSA checkpoint stare-down

yup!

Yes, they've threathened to arrest me for taking pictures in public places (and often not even of them), many times. Never actually done it though (of course).

More Powerline Networking crap to destroy the airwaves illegally.

Users of Powerline Networking equipment in the UK (yes, that's USERS, not just sellers!) are liable to a maximum fine of £5000 - they don't tell you that in the press release, do they?
