It is discouraging to see the disdain in which many of you hold the FBI during a time when we need cooperation and insight from nontraditional sources.
I think the disdain with which many of hold the Federal Baby Incinerators is (a) based on sad experience and (b) no greater now than usual. In fact, I think that now is EXACTLY the right time to call these accountants-with-guns into question. How many FBI failures, fuck-ups and Wacos does it take to demonstrate that this unconstitutional police force ain't gonna stop the next 911 any more than they stopped the last one?
I just wonder how many security professionals will be willing to work with them now that they are planning on making "hacking" a crime with a life sentence and no statute of limitations? (Especially since they have a habit of finding some reason to jail them when they are not longer useful.) "Terrorist" seems to have been redefined to mean "anyone who can inconvenience the Government, no matter how slight".
