Over at Newsweek, Hannah Osborne is reporting - First Human Head Transplant Successfully Performed on Corpse, Sergio Canavero Announces — Key bits:
Scientists have carried out a head transplant on a human corpse, the neurosurgeon behind the operation has announced.
At a press conference in Vienna, Austria, Sergio Canavero said his team was able to remove the head from one body and connect it to the body of another by fusing the spine, nerves and blood vessels. He said the next step will be to carry out the operation on a living person, The Telegraph reports.
"The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. A full head swap between brain dead organ donors is the next stage,” he said. "And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent.”
Canavero said a “high number” of people have volunteered to be his first head transplant patient. It is thought he will carry out the operation in China in December.
Because, of course, some of us are aware of the special dynamics of the intersection between Ethics, Journalism, and the Chinese government.
And then the next kicker to sufficiently anti-bait the click:
The Italian neurosurgeon did not present any evidence of his claims at the conference.
But, who knows what gruesome story we'll hear about in December.

The Secret Service also investigates counterfeit bills... so that's possibly a second way they could get involved with someone's use of Photoshop.
The Secret Service investigates cybercrimes [nytimes.com] (an antiquated mission of theirs)... so investigating Adobe getting hacked could be a loose #3 way they would respond to something Photoshop related.

At least Stasi investigated for seditious content.

Through an odd historical quirk, the Secret Service is actually under the Department of Treasury. That is most likely why it may be tasked with investigating counterfeit bills. Just so you know.

Your information is out of date. According to the Secret Service website: [secretservice.gov]
They still are called on to investigate counterfeiting as a result of he historical quirk you mentioned, but no longer do so under the umbrella of the Dept. of Treasury.
Of course, some Secret Service agents have gone on record saying that DHS is the wrong place for them, and they should go back to the Treasury... [vox.com]

It's simple. Law has force only on people who respect law. For example, if you start thinking that jail is just another hotel with bad service, law loses power.
The unlawful don't read the law and then change their behavior, they expect law enforcers to catch them first. The lawful on the other hand are busy demanding tougher laws.
The enforcers just want people to work and obey.

how has this approach to justice affected your ability to enjoy a fine cuban cigar? I imagine that there are some ways to get one, and other ways to get one. but if you are not really clear on which way is the right way, in the end, you still may enjoy a fine cuban cigar, just with less details to cloud your smoke.
