Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
And who is to say who will be incharge in the future. This information gathering will grow and grow... Maybe one day there will be another Stalin in power.
Also.... I do not like the fact that this information will be used more for Marketing than catching terrorists....

Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
"...Further, I would add that most of us have more to fear from our network administrator trolling through our computers than the FBI doing so. The network admin has fewer legal restrictions on them and almost no logistical problems to overcome. The FBI has bigger legal and computer challenges to get over. "
Oddly enough I happened across an old "Newsweek" in the break room today containing an article discussing possible oversights made by the CIA/FBI prior to 9-11. Amongst other leads that the FBI did not use to avert the 9-11 tragedy was a militant islamic Moroccan who was making odd inquiry's about how to pilot jet planes. Apparently, the feds had been investigating him from some time (monitoring email and the like) but were unable (before or after 9-11) to acquire a search warrant to allow them to snoop through his computer files. And these guys are supposedly raiding random people's hard drives for pirated copies of "Space Invaders"?! Hmm...I think not.

Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
*struggles back to consciousness...
On the same note...why would they waste their time and money digging through millions of parcels of fruit cakes, boring personal letters, and nudie flics? Sure...governments have never been particularly careful with their money...but really...it sounds a tad boring doesn't it?
They'd be bLasted to heck by pizza delivery bombs while searching through my dirty laundry (which is only slightly pewie at best). best of luck to em if they wanna try is what i sez...
ahem...i mean
*resuming character
Our glorious citizens will never be intimidated by these humiliating searches of our personal artifacts. We will persevere, overcome, and generally surmount all obstacles in our quest for glory and... splutter....snnnzzzzz....

Well, the world will be a better place when I conquer it.

The answer is, all it takes is ONE fruit cake to make it through. The President eats it, and the gig is over. "Game over man."
