“Those types of things really are the purview of the [Central Intelligence Agency]. This is an intelligence issue," Gina Haspel told CNN's Kasie Hunt on Thursday. "We are concerned about that—about courts getting involved in things that are unequivocally intelligence decisions. I mean, this is a CIA issue; it should not be a court issue."

Someone in our 1-2yo daycare class tested their kid for whatever idiotic reason and got a positive so now the class is quarantined. Unless you’ve been vaccinated(not possible for any of the kids) or had the dreaded virus in the last 90 days. We’re going with option 2.

More than likely, the tester of their child is a transplant from a liberal state.

We still fly a ton of 757s. Boeing's last good airplane.

I thought they were all gone, but then again I only fly every 3 or 4 years now that I'm retired. I remember flying on Delta out of Knoxville back in the 80's on a 757 and the pilot came on the PA to tell the passengers how this was Delta's newest plane and gave a run down of its "high tech" features. The one that I recall was that the auto-pilot could land the plane and apply the brakes.

The pneumatic auto pilot was the best invention in 40 years of aviation

On the airplane I am flying now, (A350) we can pull up a map of the runway and select which taxiway we want to turn off onto. The airplane will apply the brakes so as to be at 10 knots when we make the turnoff. A really cool feature is what I call the "Payne Stewart" function. If we lose pressurization and the pilots don't react, the airplane will extend the spoilers, and descend to a safe altitude at max speed. (so you people in the back can breathe). We can also 'fly by mouse'. I can look at my display and if there is a thunderstorm I can create select a route with a trackball that will go around it.

I have 15,000 hours in 757/767s... loved every minute of it.

The A350 is a sweet ride. Really cool SCV.
