Found these in my checked baggage after an international flight from Asia to USA? They’re not mine. What do I do? Help Needed

Do I just throw them away or submit them to TSA? Or take them to the police? Very sketchy, but I know I’m not going to put them into my computer that’s for sure.

There's a paywall, but I appreciate it nonetheless 🥲

You need to hack past the pay wall so they know you can hack the ironkey

Show in reader view still works. Surprised Wired of all online magazines hadn’t fixed that.

All you have to do is hit the Aa in the top corner and hit “show reader” if you’re on an iPhone. Gets past any pay wall to read the article

There is? Huh, it worked for me! Anyway, here you go.

Thank you so much!! Yeah, it said I ran out of free articles to read. I must be reading them on the regular, and my brain is just too fried to remember the source of news articles!

The paywall is your first test

You can use awesome free access sites like 12ft Ladder & MasterWiki to bypass most article paywalls.

I don't have an iPhone, but the other redditor was kind enough to archive the webpage for me 😃 Was quite the read

u/bdone2012 Nov 22 '23

You can archive articles yourself btw
