Think again .. this kind of shit pisses off everyone. Personally I think JJS should delete bullshit scaremonger posts with asshat titles. They serve no purpose regardless of the information.

If you want people to be warned try using " FBI searching laptop files at the border " for the title instead of some random bullshit that people have to open before they know what it is because the poster thinks this is the information to save everyones grow/life.

Get a clue people and use your head before posting. Pretty stupid to tell people to not read something if they dont like it when its baited shit like " WARNING SOS WATCH OUT OH MY GOD " posted in a security section of the forums.

I would rather have my threads closed/deleted than to have veteran members come into my poorly titled scaremonger thread to call me a juvenile douchebag.

LoL, and right on Verite.

It's baiting, simple as that, and I don't like my emotions being played on by stupidity.

I understand people here take drugs, and I do too, but I come here for intelligent conversation, debate, and sometimes a stoner laugh, but not for idiotic thread titles.

His title was abit off.It doesnt mean you have to be rude about it though.

Why not?

I'm sick and tired of idiotic thread titles, looking to bait people into clicking on them for no relevant reason.

Every time I see one I will be rude.

Maybe then they'll get the message?

The guy's grammar isn't the best, he's probably a dumb teenager. Still, he tried to be helpful but made the mistake of labeling the thread in a way that was kind of misleading because of the emergency nature in which it was presented.
If you are mad at a moderator for not doing his/her job, then so be it, because I see some stupid ass threads floating around that never get closed or edited. Being a dick doesn't help, you can school the kid in a more decent way. Teach him that labeling threads like this is misleading at least and then teach him how to delete it or edit the title, no need to be "complete assholes"... :spank:

i really have to disagree, since something like this would appeal to any and every american , and yes it warrants an emergency heads up. imean there are many reasons why one woudl have some pics on a laptop or other media,aince we all lead different lives. i personally had no idea that this could be done and considering that my wife recently bought a laptop and likes to crunch OUR PERSONAL FINANCIAL NUMBERS ON IT, then yeah, its important to not jsut the grower but to us all. i want to know what this sadistic government is doing to my rights at every turn possible. my ife is non of thier business plain and simple. ever since this last documentary about how teh riggin of the voting ballots took place, i want to know everything these bastards do, just as they do me and yes YOU TOO.

and this is the US government so tattoos and piercings are clear danger signs to these morons. i have yet to NOT be stopped and searched at the airport, since i adorn both tats and piercings,and i know thats the reason cause ever since it started i have been watching and its just one of the things they are looking for.

Jack, I know I am blunt sometimes, but that's just the way I am. Life's too short for beating around the bush, and if you don't like that, then you know what you can put in your pipe.

FRIENDinDEED, I disagree that this thread warrants a 'life or death' style thread title to bait people into clicking on it. Maybe I didn't want to read something completely obvious anyway? (which I didn't).

It's a moot point anyway, because as I said earlier, I've always been careful about carrying sensitive data across a border unencrypted, and if I did need to, then I would use a strong form of encryption, or even email it to myself via Hushmail - then it's in encrypted cyberspace, and no need for any concern.

Only a dumbass would carry freedom-threatening data over an international border in an unencrypted format, and so the point of this thread is just pointing out the obvious anyway :spank:

Regarding 'someguy's' comments about carrying random encrypted data in an attempt to bait them to decrypt it, that's a stupid idea too, as it just forces your people (i.e. regular American citizens) to pay more taxes - yeah, great idea guys, as if you didn't pay enough tax to the gov't already? :chin:


NB. Why didn't the original poster just use his sub-title for the thread title:

"computers and cell phones info.,can be search at borders"

well, with the correct grammar of course: 'searched'


That would have been such a more suitable thread title, and would have avoided all this.

Others, please take note and think before you post, thanks.

Jack, the link you posted is by legend DJ Short in his own Vendor forum.

Yes, he's encouraging people to click on the thread with a vague thread title, but the difference is that it's his own forum, and people only go in that Vendor forum to learn more about the breeder and their plants.

I don't have a problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is people posting stupid and unnecessary titles in open public forums, deliberately baiting others into clicking on their thread, only for them to find that it was a complete waste of time in doing so, or at least not at all required.

If I went to DJ Short's forum and wanted to learn more, I'd click on all the links, but I don't have time or inclination to do that in the Security forum.

I hope, therefore, you can see it's like comparing apples and pears.

Now...if you want to run around and find me some really stupid and inappropriate thread titles in a serious forum, which is read by many people, then:

Go Fetch BOY!

What are people thinking?

That the security forum was designed for nothing but fearmonger thread titles to the point where everythings ignored because its a sea of OMG, WATCH OUT, WARNING, DONT BE TOO LATE?

Would you read a newspaper that titled all their news stories with the same spammer mentality crap? I wouldnt.

Personally I dont really care how you title your posts but for one exception and thats using vague bullshit fearmonger titles in the security forum.

PGP has been hashed out in court a few years ago.The feds couldn't break it,and the owner had the password memorized.He was eventually forced to reveal the password by court order.He would have rotted in jail for contempt of court anyway,so he revealed it,they found child porn and he is sitting there rotting today.

No,we don't have the right to privacy anymore,if indeed we ever did.Montel Williams,the talk show host,stated on national tv that he spent 12 years working for intelligence,monitoring our telephone calls long before "terrorism" was a threat in this country.He said this whole thing about them having to have a warrent is a joke anyway,as they were doing it for years.And now that the telephone companies can't be sued for allowing the government warrentless access to our internet and phone records we are all wearing bullseyes.
Peace
