Further fun with ebola

I’m still waiting for some troubled loner to grab a diaper from the Sierra Leone isolation ward, mail it to his sleeper cell in Virginia, and start smearing it all over doorknobs on Capitol Hill. There has always been a saying that biological weapons were the ‘poor mans nuke’.

I thought of this when I first heard of “ebola”.

Remember in the Middle Ages, castles under siege had the bodies of plague victims catapulted over the walls.

Same tactic, minus the catapult.

Argh!

According to the FCC, Marriott’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center intentionally used Wi-Fi jamming tactics on its own guests. The interference made it impossible for people to use their own personal hotspots, leaving Marriott’s costly Wi-Fi as the only other option. In response to the investigation, the hotel agreed Friday to pay a penalty of $600,000 and promised to stop its signal-blocking activities.

Sorry, but there is no excuse for this.

I’m going to write them an complain.
