Tourists Safe After Going Missing In Tham Nam Thalu cave
You need to learn english ... just ridiculous, to intentionally disobey a rule or law, or to intentionally avoid behavior that is usual or expected: They think they can flout the law and get away with it. He conducted business in his pajamas to flout convention. It's not me that needs to learn English, it is you, this is what you posted... "...however they flaunt the safety aspect...". -

Mystery Deepens: Missing British Man Boarded Flight from Thailand
Actually yes. If your fingerprints are not in Thailand's database, nothing will come up. And if I look kind of like you and walk into any of the 50,000 "travel offices" scattered around the country and want to buy a plane ticket, what are they going to do ? Ask for "your" passport and assume you are the rightful owner of it. Travel agents are not "trained Immigration officers charged with protecting the country from nefarious travellers". So now "you" have a passport and a plane ticket and head for the airport. And most Immigration officers barely glance at the thousands of passengers they see each day. They check basic details (skin colour, hair colour, roughly the right age and - name on passport matches boarding pass. If nothing pops up on the scanner, away you go. I've never had one question why my hair is cut shorter than what's in the photo or why I don't have (or do have) a mustache. It's not a Cold War "Checkpoint Charlie in East Berlin" type interrogation like you see in the movies. And between 2003-2014 I flew from Canada to the Middle East a couple times, from the ME to Asia a few times, Asia to Canada and back a few times. Essentially went back and forth enough to have circled the globe (west to east and east to west) 3 times. Averaged 3 long distance international flights a year. Never had an Immigration Officer anywhere question me about anything more than how long I plan on staying. I just read an article a couple hours ago where an Interpol spokesman noted that only about 20 member countries actually check passports against the Interpol database. And MH370 was only 10 years ago. Yet two Iranians were able to board using a stolen Austrian and a stolen Italian passport. And 5 years ago when I was leaving Canada to come back here I "tested" the system. I checked in for my flight, girl checked my passport was valid and name matched the ticket. Gave me my boarding pass. I went to a food court and sat for an hour watching people check in and head to the security check. Or the bathroom. Or the food court. Or the shops. Then I went to the bathroom and then into Security. Where they scanned my carry-on and checked the name on my passport against the name on the boarding pass. And as I sort of looked like the person in the photo I was waved through and into the departure area. Which was why I was paying attention and "testing" the system because once I passed the Security screen - I was in the Departure area and could simply board my flight. NO Immigration passport check - at all !!! And that is in Canada ! I had recalled on a trip in 2014 that I didn't remember going through Immigration when I left but thought I must have just had a brain-fart or something. But no - when you leave Canada, no one checks your passport to see if you are really you ! Simple as can be. You check in for a flight. Get your boarding pass and go to the bathroom. Mohammed, who more or less kind of looks like you, takes your passport and boarding pass and goes through security. Security looks, yep, similar skin colour, dark hair, age looks right, name matches boarding pass - "have a nice flight" and away you go. (I suspect they do that in Canada because they don't really want to know who is leaving the country or accidentally "catch someone" that isn't supposed to be there in the first place.) -

Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK
To any cheering on the destruction of broken communities in the UK from their Thai perches whilst not truly addressing the root cause of these communities decline. Shame on you - it's noticeable that Fox and Robinson have gone awol sunning themsleves elsewhere whil Britain burns and the pounds dropped 2 baht in the last few days as a result. There are 6 million muslims in the UK learn to live with that and seek intelligent solutions not mob rule. Because if a race war is what your after you may well get it - along with a further crash in Britains's wealth and status. -

That damned Microsoft Edge
Yes, you can temporary uninstall, but not permanently. It always comes back. Something that means the program is somehow active in background and still have it´s settings saved.
