Can we keep it, Sarge?

When a weapons cache is seized by the U.S. military, does the military destroy the weapons or absorb them into its own arsenal? Does the same apply to fissile material? When drug money is seized or found by local law enforcement, does that local jurisdiction get to keep the money if all requisite investigations do not lead to the money being returned to a legitimate owner?

Hypothetically speaking...does this work on cops?

Hypothetically...on some police shows and movies, there are scenes where the police are questioning some person, usually a "known" crook. The crook is smart enough to not provide any info, but is coerced into being helpful, and instead of telling what he knows, insists that all the info he's providing is "hypothetical." e.g. "hypothetically, if so and so wanted to rob the bank, he would've done A, B, C." Does insisting that what you're saying is "hypothetical" really work in real life to stop law enforcement from using what you say against you?

My dire background!

I'm applying for jobs that require a local law enforcement background check, and I suspect that it's turning up information that's [really] detrimental to being hired! What kind of information could they be finding? How could I find out what's on my background check? Finally, is there any way to delicately address these issues in job applications/cover letters without digging myself into a hole? [more inside]

No Phishing

I get a phishing e-mail on a daily basis. It probably accounts for 10% of my spam. The FTC and private industry groups are up in arms, but the problem keeps getting worse. Given the little old ladies who are losing their pensions by clicking on these links, why can't anyone catch these guys? What's the technological barrier?
