Guards can plausibly arrest you without seriously injuring you. But
according to https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/68361 there are no safe options if the pilot really doesn’t want to comply, so there is no “forcing” a plane to land somewhere, just making it very clear that powerful people really want you to stop and might be able to give more consequences on the ground if you don’t.
Planes are required to comply with instructions; if they don't they're committing a serious crime and the fighters are well within their international legal framework to shoot the plane down. They would likely escalate to a warning shot with the gun past the cockpit, and if the aircraft is large enough they might try to shoot out one engine instead of the wing or fuselage.
I suspect fighter pilots are better than commercial pilots at putting their much-higher-spec aircraft so uncomfortably close that your choices narrow down to complying with their landing instructions or suicidally colliding with one - in which case the fighter has an ejector seat and you don't.
I felt like you ruled out collision when you said they're not going to murder, though, granted, an accidental but predictable collision after repeatedly refusing orders is not exactly murder. I think the point stands, they have to be willing to kill or to back down, and as others said I'm skeptical France or similar countries would give the order for anything short of an imminent threat regarding the plane's target. If Musk doesn't want to land where they want him to, he's going to pay the pilot whatever it takes, and the fighter jets are going to back off because whatever they want to arrest him for isn't worth an international incident.
Democrats usually complain that ID requirements suppress voters’ rights. Your right to travel isn’t as thoroughly suppressed by this as the right to vote is. It’s not a strong excuse, but it’s not totally inconsistent either. And, at least before this change, there were still ways to go through security screening without ID. If those are not allowed any more, maybe Dems will take up the issue.
What do you think of https://electiontruthalliance.org/ ? I haven’t deeply read their stuff, and I’m not really qualified to evaluate their statistics, but it seems like there are concerns worth following.
Lol. The Maduro operation did leak, but the press held the story. Rubio said “Frankly, a number of media outlets had gotten leaks that this was coming and held it for that very reason, and we thank them for doing that, or lives could have been lost.” https://www.npr.org/2026/01/05/nx-s1-5667060/media-shows-res...
Source? I cannot find anything suggesting that law enforcement agencies operate the portals. They are mandated by law and used by law enforcement, but operated by the telecom providers.
From [0]: “Last year almost a dozen major U.S. ISPs were the victim”, “the intruders spent much of the last year rooting around the ISP networks”, “telecom administrators failing to change default passwords”, “Biden FCC officials did try to implement some very basic cybersecurity safeguards, requiring that telecoms try to do a better job securing their networks”. Per the original topic, the article goes on to explain how the Trump admin destroyed those little security steps.
I’m okay with some both-sidesing of bad opsec, but I think you’re incorrect on the blame in this story, and to the extent it is the government’s responsibility, the Trump II response was worse than the Biden’s.
> Renee Good pressed the accelerator while her car's wheels were still pointed at the ICE agent
This is something I can agree with, but it does NOT prove that Good was trying to hurt the agent (I believe she made an error while trying to leave), it raises the questions of whether he should have simply hopped away or noticed her turning the wheel as he drew, nor does it justify the two rounds he shot from the SIDE of the vehicle after it missed him, nor does it justify him violating multiple police guidelines in walking around the vehicle and firing at it. I don’t know exactly what position you’re taking, but those are some of the things people are saying, and it does make a difference whether this was an attack or a confrontation where both sides made bad choices.
> check the the slow-motion bodycam video
Is there an actual bodycam? This situation has been criticized over the lack of bodycams and the sloppiness of the agent filming with his phone in one hand while confronting someone.
> cities defying federal immigration law
I don’t know your take, but it’s rich how many Repubs will rant about “states’ rights” and then flip as soon as they agree with the federal government’s agenda more than a state’s in a particular case.
There is, but I may have misremembered that it is on the bodycam video that the wheel direction is visible. In any case, you can see it here (focus on the video, as what the video shows and what the NYT says are not always the same):
It’s important everyone knows it’s not actually a bodycam though, as it affects the interpretation of e.g. what’s happening when it flips to the sky or gets obscured. Again, it’s also stupid and dangerous that he and his agency put him in that situation one-handed and without a bodycam.
> why people in some cities are defending violent illegal immigrants
Most are not violent.[1] Many of them are “here for decades and that had properly integrated into our society” just like you said, or are attempting to integrate and be here legally, so people are defending them. If the government can trample one group over the worst crimes of a few of its members, it can trample any group for any reason, so we must stand together to protect our freedom.
Haha, it has the human developer traits of thinking all old code is garbage, failing to identify oneself as the dummy who wrote this particular code, and wanting to start from scratch.
People know the system well enough to write FOSS implementations of it; I think they would have noticed and sounded the alarm if there were a possible master key.
I don't think anybody is interested in reverse-engineering closed-source OS to check if it works as documented; it;s easier to just use Linux which has open-source code.
