We've been in a national emergency since September 14, 2001. http://www.msnbc.com/all/obama-quietly-extends-post-911-stat...

I'm not sure if that was extended in 2014 but after some googling I also found that we have multiple ongoing national emergencies http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/10/22/presi...

did graphics switching work?

Look at the top right, it says "French presences".

I thought it's relative to what frame of reference you choose.

I've had rebate cards blocked because my name "Omar Ali" matched the alias "Ali Omar" of someone who is in detention in the Philippines but still on this list http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/AQList.htm

Adding a letter to my last name was enough to not match anymore.

Can a collection agency affect your credit without having your ssn? Credit card providers ask for ssn. So do utility companies. But buying something from a company doesn't involve providing an ssn.

Creative Cloud applications are still regular applications that are installed on your computer and can run offline.

I've has the opposite experience as a US citizen.

Last time I checked they didn't apply to private jets flying within the US but do apply to international flights.

Ironically, US citizens on the no fly list could still get a pilot's license http://cnsnews.com/news/article/tsa-us-citizen-who-no-fly-li...

No, they just place you on the no fly list and detain you for 4+ hours every time you cross the US border by land.

Facebook is blocked in China.

My dad had food (dates) set off the detector. He's now on the no fly list.

These videos show what is wrong with our voting system and give a better alternative http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y3jE3B8HsE

"Our position needs to be reiterated, and needs to be very clear. The fact that the U.S. has administered the death and homicide of over 1 million civilians in Iraq; the fact that the U.S. is supporting the deaths and killing of thousands of Palestinians, does not justify the killing of 1 U.S. civilian in New York City or Washington D.C. And the deaths of 6,000 civilians in New York and Washington D.C. does not justify the death of 1 civilian in Afghanistan." ~ Anwar Al-awlaki; October 2001

Clicking in the article from google results bypasses the paywall. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...

Canada has it's own version of the no fly list which includes data from the US no fly list.

Is it possible for someone on the no fly list to join the lawsuit? I know two US citizens who are on the list.

Driver's licenses have been made to be like a national ID. We used to be able to get multiple driver's licenses from different state, but not anymore after the Real ID Act. Some states used to issue DL without photo but not anymore.
