Only because you see it as the ending; it was definitely where the fun began. I have no regrets. It would have been far more disappointing if I spent all night not getting into a box.

Not a locksmith but a guy who has played with picking locks (it even came in handy a couple of times.
Was going to a party recently, of the rather shall we say lively and spicy kind. The person throwing it pointed out that there is an old safe in one of the rooms, and the owner of the place has given permission to try and get into it.
I made it a point to NOT find out where it was, because otherwise I would have spent the entire night there trying to be that guy.

Don't do that, you don't need to do that. Just hold it to your temple, or any nearby area where there is bone just under the skin.

Sure if you ignore the concept of rule of law or the very common phrase "nation of laws, not a nation of men".
> Sovereign immunity on the other hand is an ages-old legal concept.
And one that deserves to be nothing more than a footnote in the history of bad ideas that only ever served the people in power to the detriment of the people that they were supposed to be serving.
> You're veering deep into sovereign citizen loony territory by even suggesting this.
Not even close; I am veering into the concept of government as a public service, for the people and by the people. The whole point of a constitution is that government authority shouldn't be absolute ever again.

I don't expect it to happen; concepts of justice like that everyone is equal under the law and that the law exists to restrict the government as much as it does us are not popular with people who only want us to be a country of laws when its convenient for them.

also known as refining their own ore for nuclear power. I have seen no evidence other than the claims of mealy mouthed politicians that they had a weapons program at that time.

We already have nuclear weapons in the US.

It was unauthorized access to computer devices, it was intentional destruction.
Iran owns their land, they own their uranium, they have every right to develop nuclear power. I really do think its the height of arrogance that we should be screwing with them when us screwing with them created the regime that has existed for the past 45 years.

As an American citizen, I would support prosecuting everyone involved under our criminal hacking laws. This was a crime.
