I used to think Monster cables were a complete joke too until a musician friend pointed out that they have a lifetime warranty and very generous terms of exchange. One can essentially walk into any music store in the country and swap out the splinched cables for new ones, no questions asked.
Is he doing it right? Should the cables fail after every show? Shouldn't he just get better cables?

The actual quote was:
About 440,000 public school buses carry 24 million children more than 4.3 billion miles a year, but only about six children die each year in bus accidents, according to annual statistics compiled the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
So yes, those six or seven only cover the students inside the actual bus.

"It seems to me (as a non-American) that America's default response to terrorism is to deprive itself of ever-more civil liberties. This is why I believe some on HN deem TSA articles HN-worthy material."
It's not just how America would respond. Almost any country would up security measures and, as a byproduct, deprive itself of civil liberties.

Re:Ask HN: Why do Hacker News, Reddit, not show the users that voted?

Sites like reddit can garner thousands of votes on a certain comment. Keeping track of these would further decrease reddit's already slow response time.
