The trick is whether the White House will listen to the advisory panel. Recent events where advice was not heeded makes me think this would not be a good thing to hold your breath over...

I have to use Chrome at work (on a Windows-only machine). 8 GB is barely enough even with only a few tabs open. I constantly have to manage memory on it so performance doesn't go down the tubes.  

I'm running Chrome on my Mac right now with two tabs open -- 522 MB of RAM in use. Looking at Safari right now and it's not much better.

Your beef is with Chrome, not 8Gb. Chrome is very well known to be a resource hog. Sure you're stuck with it at work, but at home you should use Firefox.  It's far more secure and resource-efficient.

Why does this guy keep opening his mouth and putting his foot in it. Does he not care about his legacy??

Let's be honest; if you know much about Woz, you know this is his personality. I believe, in retrospect, he falls on the Asperger's chart; mild but there. It's how he designed the first Apple computers, why he was so driven to run the US Festival, and why he keeps making weird announcements. He just doesn't have the normal filters the rest of us do. It's his way.

Security checks aren’t uncommon and I’ve never heard of anyone being compensated for waiting in a line to be checked. Don’t like it? Quit and get a job at the Post Office.

It won't just be Apple. Costco searches every employee, every day of the week.

As long as they pay them for their time, fine.
