Another reason to my geekier male friends not to wear a trenchcoat year-round (besides the fact that it's just not a good look on you): You are now in danger of being summarily executed by law enforcement. (Though I guess you're safer if you're a white guy. But still.)

Wasn't this a mechanic of the Shadowrun game for Sega Genesis? I do believe so. Trenchcoats or full suits of powered armor would make cops harrass you. So leave your powered armor at home, too. I don't care what night it is at Man Ray.

'cause, ya know, suicide bombers have _never_ heard of dead man's switches and gord knows they won't pay attention when the police say they shoot to kill.

The British have already killed an innocent man due to policies like this.

I see that they're linking the Schneier article on this.
