Sure. I bet this has nothing to do with the surge of false "bomb threats" in Austin and SIlicon Valley high-tech companies or flooding mass media with descriptions of dangers from domestic terrorism. Public must be aware of the "presence" of undesirables first. Who is it going to be this time, after cpunks are dealt with ?
