It's usually the second lowest security level, just above "Public" and below "Secret".
Third lowest; NOFORN is above public
Do you all say NOFORN the way I think you say NOFORN? (No forn)

Presumably the same reason police moved barricades, waved them in, and took selfies with them.
I’m sorry but if you’re a couple of police officers in a room full of literal terrorists, of course you’re going to try to be as restrained and friendly as possible. You’re horribly outnumbered. They would be murdered if they tried to take on the crowd. They needed to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and meanwhile do their best to keep the crowd from going fully insane. They managed the situation with very few peop…
If they are terrorists, would you support police opening live fire on them. Just curious. Seems like all the SJW are now advocating for a Tiananmen square massacre of unarmed protesters, just because the TV told them who to hate.

#553Beyond the information security risk around the loss of this specific device, what really worries me is the physical security implications here. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but it seems to me like, in a building like the US Capitol, it should not be anywhere near this easy for unauthorized people to waltz into an office or conference room in the first place. Let alone walk away with items from within that…
The correct fix seems to be electing presidents that don’t invite terrorists to do what they did.
And who actually protect the capitol building when it is under attack.

Maybe stealing it also removed a bunch of foreign operative bugs and keyloggers :) "How can we remove this compromised system from the building without letting on that we know " "just have a 'theft' remove it!"
I think it would just be easier if someone "accidently" spilled coffee on it.

Could have (likely was) aiming for center of mass but ended up a little high. Real life is not a shooting range with a target that is perfectly still. Shooting a center of mass is not at all about being "less fatal" it is about it being the biggest target with the biggest chance of stopping your adversary.
> Shooting a center of mass is not at all about being "less fatal" Did I say it was? I believe I used the word "potentially" in the reply you are commenting to. The officer was shooting from ~6ft away and had a firm grip and was well composed, if they can't hit the chest of a target that was mostly still at the moment of the shot then they need to be spending a lot more time in the gun range (at the absolute minimum)…
> they need to be spending more time in the gun range.
Not at all unlikely.

#556>Nancy Pelosi told fellow House Democrats that she had received reassurances about safeguards to prevent Donald Trump from launching a nuclear attack Maybe this is too political or HN, but this is the bigger news on that page. It tells me we don't have a functioning chain of command and our government is currently responding to a hard coup attempt with a soft coup which is also pretty scary. Trump should either be re…

As of ~5 pm eastern, the Reuters article [1] does not have this text. If I assume it was there at one point, what happened?

Absolutely. Moreover, why are the Capitol Police Chiefs singled out? Could they have asked for, say, the National Guard? Were they supposed to go to the leaders of Congress the days before the certification to make it happen? I was always of the idea that federal authorities would be tasked with such planning, enrolling (among others) the Capitol Police.
Capitol Police got 2 200 officers.

yeah, i bet it has every presentation ever done sitting in good ol' ~/Documents or the desktop.
Does anyone use /Documents? That's just a folder where Apps like Acrobat put garbage files.
on my laptop that's the default when i do save-as. I see someone plugging in a jump drive, opening the presentation, and then doing a save-as to Documents so "it runs faster"

This is the video that really got me thinking about this: https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kt2u9v/conf... Not sure what happened, I hope we find out, but this video is especially damning.
try this video https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/video-shows-capitol-police-cop...
This is the YouTube channel that came from. Lots of other videos there like talking to the MAGA crowd after the riot.
