+ Put a “This belongs to…<\/em>” label on all your iPads, iPhones, laptops, etc. People leave their stuff at TSA checkins. Computerworld reports (this will blow you away):<\/p>\n

Fox News host\u00a0Tucker Carlson<\/a>\u00a0urged his viewers to resist vaccine mandates if they are imposed by their employers as he questioned such\u00a0rules being set at workplaces<\/a>\u00a0across the United States.\u00a0Carlson told his audience on Friday they should “threaten to sue” if their employer tries to require them to get vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p>\n
