Well, this (deters shoplifting which is a cost to us all) is the
worst kind of pseudo socialistic propaganda I know. Yeah, let's
give up some freedom 'for the good of us all' where nobody can
prove that this brings any benefit?
I call myself a socialist, and as such quite in favour to accepting
the burden of society, but Socialism goes together with two other
basic concepts: Fredom and the rule of the law. Aren't these the
very basics of the 'American Sprit'?
Ok, I'm going way of topic, but I'm every time again astonished
how easy some give up their freedom without any need in emergency
at all. Freedom is nothing which is given by nature, but something
which has to be preserved every single day. It is not upheld by a
some huge military deficit or paying whomever, but rather defended
every day again agains atempts from _all_ sides. From government to
next door neightbors. And of course companies of any kind who belive
themselve to be above the law.
Plese, not ment to be personal, but I've experienced people in east
European contries, 20 years back, when they still hat their dictatoric
regime more aware, and more eager to defense their freedon than some
Americans.
Ok, back to computers, as a total foreigner I was somewhat impressed
by Fry's, but within less than 20 minutes I experianced the said
problems of incompetence on every level and ineffective organisation
- up to this weired concept of 'bag controll'. It did in no way stand
up to the legend of the name.

P.S.: Sallam, I may as well sign up atFry's for a job - no knowledge
of English, and all computer knowledge totaly outdated :)
