Right now these are just malinois dogs with gene edits to prevent hip dysplasia. They can be military sure, but mine does nothing more aggressive than chase butterflies in the backyard.

It's clearly The 6th Day, Arnold takes the family dog to get it cloned in that one.

I'm sure you would find something objectionable about every wireless carrier CEO if you got to know them.

Right but it should be. If you log in to your banking website at a public terminal and then wander away (without logging out), someone else can make transactions in your name because the session is still authorized.

By the way, this works for any website. If you tell a tool-calling AI agent to pop open a browser and automate some stuff for you, it will do it. It will ask you to login first, and then it will do who-knows-what..

The step where you logged in authorized it to do whatever it wants.

Yeah, that activity was authorized. You're using "unauthorized" as if it means "unwelcome" I think, which puts you in confused banker territory.
 
The part where they were given access to make the transactions was actually the authorization. Without it, the bank would have rightly thrown a 403.

If they're "operating inside" user's accounts, they're authorized. Does someone need to explain to banks what authorized means?

As much as I'm generally inclined to trust SO readership's\ expertise on contagious shit, I would still somehow feel more comfortable if we can shoot junk like this into the sun when shit goes sideways.

Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

Sure, but remember Covid '19? Imagine if that Wuhan bat lab had been in space. 'Nuff said.

They should be required to do experiments like this in space. So they can shoot it into the sun if something goes wrong.

You only need two beanie babies, folks.

No part of your statements says that DHS obtained a warrant to search and seize his phone. This where DHS is using SchrÃdinger's reasoning: According to DHS, they do not need a warrant because the search was "random" and he was not under any investigation. Yet they told Customs to look for certain things because he was under investigation and he was targeted for a search at the border. It turns out they lied and the search was not random. Such a search requires a warrant. Therefore the search was illegal.

You seem to have ignored the legal problem where if the search is not legal, there can be no crime with destroying the data. Second, I would point out that the data has not been destroyed. It still exists on his phone. It cannot be decrypted at the moment.

Your person and luggage can be searched without a warrant; however, seizure is limited to specific things. Contraband, food, etc. There are conflicting federal court rulings as to whether devices can be searched without a warrant. In this case, DHS was arguing that they did not need a warrant because Turnick was not under investigation yet they knew to search him because he was under investigation.
