I mean, this was when I was living in a suburb of Cleveland OH. it’s not really a town thing so much as it’s an industry thing. I spent 20 years running movie theaters. I worked for all the chains, both national and local. Between managers and projectionists, everyone knew everyone else.

I was interviewing for a job as a movie theater manager.

In my neck of the woods there’s a limited number of movie theaters, and everyone knows everyone else. So I was interviewing for the job when I’m told

“we heard through the grapevine that after you were fired from your last job you broke into the office and did something unspeakable on the carpet.”

I still ended up getting the job.

Surely this is just using an image as an analogy?

That’s precisely what it is. It’s exactly what you want in a stock image. It straightforwardly, simply conveys a concept without really leaving much room for interpretation. This is an image that’s intended to be used in some poor IT guys lousy malware powerpoint presentation to a non-IT department, and it’s absolutely appropriate for that context.

But the smug “hurr-durr, that’s not how binary works” delivers more dopamine.

Sounds like he’s only a constitutional amendment away from being President of The US.

He is rich enough that it literally doesn’t matter. This was “expensive” for him on paper, but hardly life changing.

Nah, they REALLY buried the lede with this bit further down. Emphasis added.

Most travelers are unclear of their rights when it comes to airport searches. In order to be admitted entry to the airport’s gated areas, passengers must submit themselves to TSA security screenings. That’s a fact.

However, the random searches by DEA agents at the Atlanta airport give passengers pause, but it should be noted that they’re not mandated. The DEA officially calls its stops and searches at airport gates “cold consent encounters,” and passengers are free to end the encounter and walk away if they’d like.
