We walk people to their cars, and ensure that they are in their vehicle, with the door locked for threat levels way the fuck below that at my site. Hell, that's standard proceedure at my site for anyone who requests a ride. Any elevated threat level and we post pictures to all posts of a credible threat, and will pretty much do whatever we can to ensure staff safety, including violating rules on where we are willing to drop people off. FFS, this shit isn't that hard if you have half a brain. And we don't even have the level of authority that Campus cops would.

Yes, that includes special forces units... not like they haven't been doing so the whole time and not admitting to it anyway.

Xlucine Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Quote Kanev, who lives in self-imposed exile in Europe, told The Associated Press he uncovered the identities by using databases purchased on the black market from Moscow police, traffic police or security agents. He said he cross-checked them with open sources and discussions with security sources. Other Russian journalists have described using similar methods. Getting people to sell semi-innocuous stuff like car registration databases seems to be a very effective tactic for finding russian agents On 10/23/2018 at 6:39 PM, Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect said: This is fucked up.

Ramlaen Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Angela Merkel says she will not seek a fifth term as chancellor, effectively beginning the winding down of her time as German leader. Merkel says she will not be seeking any political post after her term as chancellor ends in 2021. She also says she will not stand for re-election as chairwoman of her Christian Democratic Union party when an election is held in December. Merkel's CDU party and her coalition partner in Berlin, the Social Democratic Party, saw heavy losses in the state election in Hesse this weekend.

Xoon Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not sure if anyone noticed, but Norway recently lost a Frigate in a collision with a oil tanker during operation trident: The Frigate apparently did not yield as it was supposed to do and collided with the oil tanker, tearing a 10m long tear in the side. This effectively sunk 20% of Norway's active frigate fleet and costs the armed forces millions. The media absolutely loves this, and can't stop talking about the damn warship. Even the got damn engineering magazines talk about it.
