I love the implication that this random person should be the authority on whether or not I can see the no-fly list.
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets added to the list as well after pulling this stunt.

>>demonstrate they will use it responsibly. The problem is to define "demonstrate" and the criteria. Remember the gatekeeper is now an unemployed gal who "know lot's of things about cyber security" according to her main page. Seems likely a competent bad actor could easily impersonate a well-meaning reporter... Yes, security through obscurity isn't security, but this also seems incredibly irresponsible for any "secur…

Relatively off-topic, but I absolutely love the 90s/early 2000s vibes I get from this. I can't remember the last time I saw a webring, much less one with animated logos.

She's already been indicted on federal charges for hacking. Not being allowed to fly wouldn't be the main issue if she found her way into an American airport or airliner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew

I wish we just used “they” always. I am fine with people not wanting certain pronouns but I find it very tedious to track different pronouns in my head. Especially in a professional setting gender shouldn’t matter at all.
I have found ways to almost always write and talk with gender neutral pronouns, without sounding too weird. After working with colleagues that use gender neutral pronouns, I find myself being careful not to assume any gender specific pronouns, which means in most cases just not using them.

> If someone was on a no fly list and they wanted the general public to know, they could just put it out there themselves. No? How would they know? How would they prove it? There's a known case a few years ago where a woman was trapped away from the US for 3 years - her estranged husband put her on the list when she went to visit her parents, and boom, she's not allowed into the US and no-one will tell her why, makin…
>There's a known case a few years ago where a woman was trapped away from the US for 3 years - her estranged husband put her on the list when she went to visit her parents, and boom, she's not allowed into the US and no-one will tell her why, making it easy for him to get divorced and keep the house. How does one "put her on the list"? It's not that easy.

"It" is not generally used in English to refer to people, and generally carries a dehumanizing or even pejorative connotation when used to refer to a person (it's not unheard of to see "it" used as a slur against binary trans people, for example-- using "it" in place of preferred pronouns). Use "it" if someone specifically requests that "it" be used to refer to them. Don't if they do not.
My mom called me "it" for the first two weeks after I was born. She wasn't sure on a name. Exception not the rule, but made me giggle reading your comment.
