Regarding the criminalization of anti-surveillance devices aimed at thwarting retail theft protection systems....(foil-lined bags, etc.) There is a similar bill up in Texas. (I think I posted on this.) Actually, this was addressed by other state legislatures as far back as 1988. Meanwhile, DIY spyware is marketed on the Net with a clearly illusory alternative purpose. The security industry says it's a serious problem, but the criminalization of countermeasures gives me considerable pause. ~Aimee
