Disgaceful  

In El Reg insults 'millions of Irish Catholics'

It's not just El Reg, I also noticed that my flag* has orange on it as well and on Paddies day too! For Shame.

*by "my flag " I mean the Irish one as opposed to the Oirish, whose flag probably has stars and stripes on it and ne'er a hint of green.

Slight Contradiction  

In US school comes out fighting over webcam spy claim

So they have an image of the student taken using the spy kit, which is only used when laptops are stolen or lost. So was the laptop reported stolen or lost? I assume not, so this make their statement complete and utter tosh.

In Airport scanners go live today, kids included

Grenade

That whole "if it saves one life" argument, is going to be the cause of a lot of people losing their lives if I hear it one more time.

Too early to gauge passenger response...  

In Airport scanners go live today, kids included

because they're all complaining. Once people are resigned to it then they will start to gauge responses.

"Passengers must not be selected on the basis of personal characteristics"

(i.e. on a basis that may constitute discrimination such as gender, age, race or ethnic origin)."*cut*

...

detailed protocols which are not published because,

we are told, they contain security sensitive information which includes selection criteria on those chosen for scanning*paste*

(i.e. on a basis that may constitute discrimination such as gender, age, race or ethnic origin)."

Image quality  

In Full-body scanner blind to bomb parts

Every sample image I've seen for full body scanners look like low quality photos with the colours inverted, but the image on that clip is just a useless red blob. So what is the quality of the images that these things show?

Great

Judged by the Moderatrix...  

In El Reg launches 'Comment of the Week'

Heart

Would this be the same Moderatrix who is the epitome of style and sophistication, whose beauty and grace is matched only by her incisive wit, enviable intelligence and saintly patience, the ray of sunlight that occasionally shines through the dull and dreary comments section? I say this because it's true and needs to be said and not because I want put some camel balls in my mouth.

Yes it's important to maintain good relations with the media, such as not investigating or prosecuting them for listening to peoples voice mails. Otherwise the MET might really find themselves in trouble.
