3. I haven't seen this asked yet.
Do the survivors still have their constitutional rights?

They certainly don't seem to be treated like they do.

4. It has to do with security issues and the cards
they are getting. I guess they are worried people will attack them as they come out of the Dome or something. I don't know, I don't trust them at all.

Something to do with receiving the debit cards. Don't know if
people are just crowding everyone or what. Of course this fox news alert came at exactly the same time they were showing part of Reid's news conference in the corner. Ann CNN cut Reid off in mid sentence.

6. "We're going to issue you these debit cards, but you can only
use them to order goods off the internet via the laptops you brought with you."

12. The way I understood it
Was in lockdown WHILE the cards were distributed re: only to the adult head of household for each family or adult individual. Makes sense to keep things orderly and efficient to preform this task. Glad to know it's been done.
Now, those kids there that are still separated from their parents, hopefully, there will be a card waiting for them.
