This is well worth reading, but still rests on an argument that only touches on the horrid conditions in which Palestinians find themselves, thanks to Israel; no mention of this. That issue - the human condition of Palestinians -  needs to be front and center but public opinion does not - yet - agree with me.

Photographic memory

 Suppose someone has a "photographic memory" or at least one that is very good. Suppose this person has top secret security clearance. What if he/she simply records what he/she remembers once they have left the workplace? I wonder if the statute clearly covers this? Are these people with super great memories a security risk?
