Having conversations with your car alarm

the past few months we've gotten a lot of emails about making sure to lock our office doors because over breaks/long weekends there would be thefts of things ranging from wallets to phone chargers......we just sort of assumed it was either people leaving things unlocked, or someone losing their keys or it being other students with the same key (the same key opens all the grad student offices in the building)....well.............ALLEGEDLY.........some construction workers discovered an opening in the ventilation shafts of the building that had signs of human activity......people really doing oceans 11 vent crawling into a physics building to steal phone chargers

i know its already been said more eloquently but it really is insane that boeing can just...have a whistleblower executed mid-trial. its not gonna be in the news cycle, no one's gonna bother reporting on it - much less accusing them in a formal manner of killing him - in a few months no one's gonna remember it and everyone's gonna keep flying on their planes

can you imagine if this happened in a non-western country? like imagine if someone in malaysia investigating flight 370 got mysteriously disappeared right before they could conclude revealing the results of their investigation - there would be an international outcry, probably an international investigation like there was for the flight itself - but because this happened to an american industry, to a company with its fingers so deep in american regulatory organizations, we'll probably never find out what happened
