Updated: Man Celebrating One-Year Anniversary Killed in Buffalo Restaurant Massacre - ABC News

UPDATE: Original suspect cleared of shooting.

Man Celebrating One-Year Anniversary Killed in Buffalo Restaurant Massacre - ABC News:
A man who had come to Buffalo from Texas to celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary was among five people killed in a shooting early this morning at a restaurant that also left three wounded.

A man has been taken into custody, reportedly in relation to the shooting, but police have declined to comment on whether the arrest made by a SWAT team was connected to the massacre.
Series tie-in: Incidents like this are rare in Suki's world. Concealed carry is legal and easy in 2030's USA due to a series of court cases affirming the constitutionally protected Second Amendment Right of individuals to arm themselves.

Additional series tie-in: The saturation of voyeur cameras in the future makes the elimination of wrong suspects easier. However, due to video evidence abuse by the authorities in the past, using voyeur cam evidence in court against someone is is excluded, as a rule.

Slashdot | Getting Around Web Censors With Flickr

This is extra juicy interesting! The system uses steganography (I seem to recall something called 'stego' from back in my geekier days) to hide messages in images.

Slashdot | Getting Around Web Censors With Flickr:
'Life is about to become more difficult for countries trying to censor access to foreign websites. A system dubbed Collage will allow users in these countries to download stories from blocked sites while visiting seemingly uncontroversial sites such as Flickr.'
For visual learners: this earlier story at GigaOM explains the system with a diagram.

Series tie-in: North Korea is mentioned in one of the stories and in the future, Korea is reunited.

Slashdot | Without Registration, Swedish Law Does Not Protect Wikileaks Sources

Aw, how sad! NOT!

Slashdot | Without Registration, Swedish Law Does Not Protect Wikileaks Sources:
An anonymous reader writes with word that Wikileaks, which currently stores a lot of their material on servers in Sweden, may not be as safe there as once believed. From the above linked article (from April): 'Wikileaks is benefiting form Sweden's basic law 'Grundlag' on the freedom of print information, because it also guarantees the anonymity of sources in digital media, say sources at the European Parliament. In Sweden, if a website registers with the public authorities and can prove it has an editor-in-chief, then it can also be protected under the law, argues the parliamentary source.' Says the anonymous submtter, 'However, it seems Wikileaks never registered with the public authorities (article in Swedish; here it is auto-translated to English), and thus is not protected by the freedom of print information basic law even if they do have an editor-in-chief.'

Way To Go TSA

Thanks TSA, why didn't you just send your 93 page security screening manual straight to al Qaeda, Hamas, the Neo-Nazis, the IRA, and every stupid terrorist group out there?

A redacted U.S. Transportation Security Administration manual posted online inadvertently revealed agency secrets regarding airport passenger screening practices, The Washington Post reported.

The breach made the TSA's most sensitive screening practices public. Altogether, the 93-page TSA screening manual revealed how TSA employees should do their jobs, including how bags are checked for explosives, who should be screened, and how to deal with CIA agents.

Read the whole, entire, ugly story by Stefanie Hoffman here.
