  - I have nearly $4 million in gold. How much does it cost to buy all the ships? - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 7, 12:27 4

    - The last ship is just over $1.5M. -- nm - psilotum May 7, 12:27
  - You know all of this, yet you are falling even further behind me? -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 12:25 1

- But we've already rounded up all the indiginous people and forced them onto the most useless land. - Dano (186 lbs, no change) May 7, 12:04
- while I understand this I'm not sure we'd want to... - Mel Profit May 7, 12:03 24
  - I just look at the billion s and billions of dollars spent on airport security alone and weep at how wasted it is. - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:06 22
    - [deleted]
    - a small increased risk? - Danedukenuuk May 7, 12:27
    - I'm not sure I'd consider the money wasted on airport security... - Mel Profit May 7, 12:08 19
      - Read up on the topic. Even security experts acknowledge that most airport security measures and technology is wasted costs. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:10 18
        
        it's a counterfactual. you can't say how much more violence there would be if we didn't have the security in place that we have now - peace machine May 7, 12:14 7
        
        I'm stealing " Counterfactual" and also the lovely phrase " I can't care about this". -- nm - Epiphany May 7, 12:32

        how many plane takeovers have there been lately? Used to happen alot, I can't recall the last one really -- nm - Beaker May 7, 12:23
        
        easy. remove all security from all airports and see what happens -- nm - peace machine May 7, 12:22 2
        
        Not all. I don't advocate that. But I'd like about a third of the "public screening" we do now. More trained people doing investigative would help. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:26 1
        
        yeah, I think I mistook what you were shooting for, and agree some scaling back might be called for -- nm - Beaker May 7, 12:28
        
        any suggested places to start? -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 12:13 8
        
        The most recent example was when the 3D (naked) scanners came in at a very high cost. I've yet to read any article that suggest they aren't a waste. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:17 3
        
        why? -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 12:18 2
        
        Mostly because what they could potential catch is already pretty catchable under "more normal" methods like metal detectors and body pats. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:21 1
        
        Here's the most recent thing I had spotted. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 12:24
        
        I meant in terms of on places to read up... -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 12:16
        
        I don't know if there's a cost to this, but stop with the shoes already. -- nm - Reagen May 7, 12:14 2
        
        a particular boogaboo of mine for no other reason than the complete inconvenience - Mel Profit May 7, 12:17 1
        
        I saw something where they made a 2 year old do this, and I wanted to punch a koala. -- nm - Reagen May 7, 12:31
        
        I wonder how much Israel spends on airport security per traveller -- nm - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 12:12
  - *ding* -- nm - peace machine May 7, 12:05
- One of the hardest laughs I've ever had was after the London train bombings when I saw a pundit say "finally England has to deal with terror" -- nm - Reagen May 7, 12:01 9
  - *packs up, goes home* -- nm - I.R.A. May 7, 12:07
  - pundits should get a base amount of points and then lose points for extraordinarily dumb statements - once you hit zero, you're out -- nm - crash davis May 7, 12:03 4
    - NooooooooooOO! -- nm - Bill Kristol May 7, 12:04 1
      - Bill would still be in the running, because the base number would be set high so my friend Glen could provide for his family for a year or two -- nm - crash davis May 7, 12:06
    - like the Running Man, some fat dude on a bike with a chainsaw shows up on set and cuts them up. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 12:04 1
      - that's your solution for *everything* -- nm - prayformojo May 7, 12:04
  - [deleted] 2
    - probably smiled "See, I told you that we weren't terrorists." -- nm - crash davis May 7, 12:04 1
      - [deleted]
