They will get a warning saying there is an air tag travelling with them. I have this problem. We have an air tag on one of my kids shoes when we are out, and whenever I’m not with them, my partner gets spammed with warnings on her phone saying there is an unknown air tag travelling with her.

> We have an air tag on one of my kids shoes when we are out what the hell?

We use this when we are at amusement parks, museums or in the city. We also have a piece of white tape, with our phone number, on the kids so that if they get lost, and someone finds them, they can call us up.

Not sure I understand those last two sentences. Could you clarify?

Don't do drugs (including marijuana), don't get blackout drunk, don't talk about your work, don't need psychiatric help... For the last sentence...Trump had all sorts of clearance when he clearly should not have. But he was in an important position.

Putting aside the politics of it for a second, all clearence stems from the executive branch which stems from the president. Saying the president shouldn't have clearance doesn't make a lot of sense, he's the one who authorized it. He's the one who decides who gets it.

Anyone who thinks differently is arguing for a shadow gov, i.e. unelected bureaucrats who answer to no one and can make decisions unilaterally without consequence... not exactly democracy.

It was my firm belief that many of the angry mobs at vote counting offices around the 2020 elections were cover for planting these types of devices. That is very much out of the Roger Stone playbook. The lack of anomalies has shaken that belief… but I do hope that the existence of these types of devices is included in security training for future polling staff.

The only true defense is a paper and pencil (why pencil: Disappearing ink).

Because the product is mythical and it will all end in flames.

The Phoenix did not end in flames. It started in flames.

It’s immortal and cyclical. There is no beginning or end. Popular focus is obviously on one part of that cycle.

Coppermouth is a typo, the actual name NSA gave it is Cottonmouth, a species of pit viper.

My apologies! I completely missed that I made that typo. Either I was in the throes of exhaustion or my phone spellchecked me :( Now it's too late to edit. Yes, Cottonmouth is correct.

Coppermouth would be a good code name. Cottonmouth? Meh.

And let's not forget that many of them are probably browsing HN at this very moment. They could be you, they could be me!

> They could be you, they could be me! Couldn't be me: the private sector pays me waaaaaaaay more. Also, you can't work for the feds if you ever touch the ganja, which is ridiculous. Everyone I personally know in infosec leads a very... alternative west-coast lifestyle which is not conducive to career progression in an east-coast, button-down-shirt environment.

I believe it is possible to get security clearance after cessation of drugs for multiple years, even drugs like Heroin. I found the full rules[0] while reading an AMA on /r/SecurityClearance.

That statement wasn't about politics at all. Let me put it another way: Had he been trying to get clearance for a normal position, he would probably not have received it.

I also never said he had access to everything. Nobody has access to everything. Not arguing for a shadow government--it's already a fact. It happened when classification rules went from "what would harm national security" to "what would cause problems if American citizens found out we were doing this."

I would only do this if you either know the police will help retrieve your car if you have the location, or if you are ready to engage the robbers yourself. Otherwise it's useless to know where it is. I have experience trying to get the cops to help in Oakland and San Jose and they really didn't want to.

This is ridiculous. Wtf are cops good for, then?

Cracking heads. The rest is just PR.

They don't work for you. They know they don't work for you.
