Apropos of nothing, I also just really appreciate crimew.gay's aesthetic. This website is what me from 1993 thought a hacker's website would look like. A nod of respect to them for kickin' it old-school.

We can be pretty sure it's not to protect anyone. Anybody too dangerous to allow on an airplane should probably be behind bars. What it does accomplish is letting the government punish people without justification let alone a trial and with pretty much no transparency or consequences when innocent people end up being hurt by it. I imagine that's a power which is hard to surrender, and 'we the people' haven't exactly…
> Anybody too dangerous to allow on an airplane should probably be behind bars. Someone who the US deems a danger but isn't in the US would fit this criteria.
If the bad person isn't in the US there's no need for US airlines to maintain a list of them which prevents them from getting on a plane, but then just sends them on their way to arrange other travel plans. What we want for really bad people outside of the US who should be arrested on sight at airports are warrants. Signed by judges. Not secret lists with no oversight or transparency, and not sending dangerous people back out into the American population.
This is clearly on the darker side of gray-hat. Hate to be preachy but anyone seeking to emulate this sort of attack-finding should consider their ethical obligations as a computer scientist and follow best practices for responsible disclosure. It appears this was completely ignored here, including sharing stolen sensitive data of normal people with whoever can plead a case.

it isn't a guy and it uses it/its pronouns.
This is downvoted, but the homepage really does say "hello i am maia arson crimew (it/she)". I'd feel uncomfortable referring to anyone as "it" though, as there are some connotations with that :-/
I want to choose my prepositions: in, up and above.
Also, my conjunctions are: however, moreover, and whereupon.

Oh don’t. I spent several hours last week unfucking one of those.
Do tell! If you’ve recovered ;)
A,B,Alice "Mallory" Bob,123For those unaware, maia is a pretty prolific hacktivist, and it has been indicted by a grand jury for a variety of USA govt penetrations but has USA proceedings on hold until it's extradited, which it's confident won't happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew

What a Wally. What purpose did it serve doing this?
Are you asking, what purpose was there in bringing the hammer of the American Justice Department and down onto a random grey hat hacker? The same as always: enforce rigid authoritarianism and blind bureaucratic SOP. Remember kids, clicking the "next page" button on court document websites is legal, doing it with javascript is a felony, off to jail with you, join the rapists and murderers!
Wut

Have you considered that someone who chooses "it/its" as its pronouns is intentionally trying to break the English language with said choice? In this case, it is Swiss, and therefore it is likely not a native English speaker which could be a factor as well.
German has similar singular pronouns to English, with "he", "she" and it corresponding directly to "er", "sie" und "es". (Not trying to make any point here, just thought it might be useful for context.)
