@kn4cc755 how can the federal government pay awards it cannot have to pay, per your explanation?
Because, the government would first have to give permission for litigation to continue, waiving its immunity due to misconduct (typically, when an agency was caught dead to rights misbehaving).
Indeed, Steve actually glossed over the defense argument and judge tossing it, as the state was attempting to enforce, rather late in the game, immunity. One exerts immunity at the onset of litigation, not in mid-stream, when it's implied by accepting proceedings that one has waived said immunity in many jurisdictions.
I've had foreigners massively confused with federal, state and local laws, as they're unaccustomed to a weak central government. Easiest explanation is "treat it like 50 nations under one federating weak government, rather like the EU". The confusion evaporated.

@richardross7219 overused M designations is an understatement at times.
What they did was branch the M designation out, so one buys an M<whatever> truck chassis, then has a specialty device attached, be it a hut, bridge, wrecker, flatulence containment unit, etc.
OK, nothing retains my flatulence, I've been tagged REF. Retired, Extremely Flatulent.

There is are concepts, wage being irrelevant, of due care and due diligence. You touched on them without realizing it.
Due care being actually rendering care that is appropriate for that which one has taken responsibility for. So, the bags were brought into a room to be stored, rather than out in the elements, where they could be damaged or stolen. That was rendered - right until they let the man go shopping without even identifying him.
Due diligence, in this case, no due diligence was applied, as they ignored the baggage check ticket being absent, didn't bother positively identifying the man claiming the bags and allowed him to take whatever baggage he desired.
Ignored security procedures are no security procedures, since if they're not followed, they really don't exist.
The amount ordered was beyond low and the legislature should address that, before businesses and individuals refuse to do business within the state due to risk of losses via uncompensated thefts. Remember, some businesses don't practice best practices, so some could literally have their entire company' business papers, documents, contracts and more on the portable data equipment and the loss would literally obliterate the business.
The ludicrous thing is, the hotel likely spent $150k to save a couple of thousand dollars, netting a much greater loss. I can't think of a single business school that would teach that that was a good idea!

And to create a nearly impenetrable barrier to interstate commerce.
Consider a diamond courier, cops feel like diamonds, the jewelers will just have to do without while the cops fence, erm, auction the diamonds off eventually.
Now, entertaining is, if they decided to grab computers and packets of diplomats or classified documents couriers... For one, a major diplomatic incident, for the other, theft of US government property and unlawful distribution of classified information.
And couriers do get stopped on a regular basis, they present their credentials, courier card and placarded item(s) that have an outer cover over the placard. Open the outer, see the placard and if you proceed, Here Be Dragons.

Same here, though the population of our city was 4208000 and no tunnel or gas station, plenty of stores though. But then, that was in a strange exotic land called 1960's Philadelphia.
In the 1970's, we moved out to the suburbs, with a longer walk to and from elementary and later, high school of a couple of miles and around 2 3/4 miles.
Oddly, no need for an armored escort or something, no need for mom or dad to escort my every damned step. Only now, when they now want electronic monitoring and perhaps, a telescreen to the thought police.

Well, TBH, I'd probably have forwarded that one up the chain of command as well, just so that command knows what an idiot that individual is.
And BCC my buddies in the office, minus any PII.
Although, if you were to drive back from Alaska to the rest of CONUS, you'd need a citizen ID card as a minimum to pass through that corner of Canada, depending upon tensions. At one point, Trump riled Canada up enough to require that passport card. That's saying a lot, as even both times we invaded Canada, they weren't that irritated.
They simply politely escorted our defeated troops back and showed them their side of the border.

@MetroidChild what? You don't need heat for propulsion, only a free lunch. ;)
Seriously though, yeah, heat and pressure, get NOx and ozone. But, heat regeneration adds to the efficiency of the processes at that cost paying for the additional efficiency and costing a bit on the compression stage. Like all engineering, it's a balancing act.
Catalytic conversion costs gas speeds for two reasons, one being restriction to allow contact with the catalyst, the other being time for the catalyst to react the gases to be converted. Yet another balancing act, which is far easier when one isn't using the combusted gases for propulsion, such as with a generator or ground vehicle power plant, spectacularly shitty for an aircraft, even with a high bypass engine.
And don't get my started on heat regeneration and high bypass tradeoffs...
Still, the OP made an erroneous statement, that one cannot do that which has been done at a cost in efficiency in output. Engineering isn't about ideal anything, it's tradeoffs to balance desired outcomes and achieving a specific goal. Hence, why we use neither an APU turbine, nor a 767 turbine to drive an M1 Abrams tank and vice versa, each is designed for specific task and purpose.
All, while wishing for magic, which only exists in a baby's smile, which is tempered by the baby's diaper.

@Ryan_DeWitt is what you think relevant to what the algorithm "thinks"?
Here's the answer, nope. It's part AI, you know, Artificial Idiocy, it goes off of keywords and whatever defective voodoo of the week is being utilized for its illogic.
Of those not directly involved, as in victims, witnesses, etc, I've literally got one neighbor that I feel badly for. Have yet to ever see him, don't anticipate seeing him, but I do feel badly for the governor of Pennsylvania. The governor's mansion literally being three blocks from my home.
You know for sure, he got very little sleep last night as law enforcement investigates and reports.
