OK OK I acknowledge this was cheesy. Thought it was worth a mention, if for no other reason then to kick the crap out of it. BUT, true to my "Local Authorities" rant these days, it MIGHT snag a local MwG in your area, if not NSA. (My assumption continues to be that NSA and that echelon of extra spooky spooks doesnt share info with local authorities.) And frankly, unless youre actually WOMD-type dangerous, the state police or whatever are going to be what you have to worry about, if you are the identifiable Cordian type. -TD

Let me get you straight, you're proposing a modus operandi by which suspect rich content gets rendered outside of a sandbox by TLAs. Oooh, boy.
To begin with, filters aggregate content without executing it. If it goes over threshold to require investigator eyeball time or gets pulled up retroactively each link will be individually scrutinized. Investigators will have SOPs to follow, and one of whose will be the equivalent "don't access hypertext links in suspect material until you've verified they're safe". In most cases, there's no way to tell the links are safe a priori, so they will never be accessed. Violations will be persecuted by beheading.
I realize that Dave Farber's IP list and boingboing will regurgitate drivel mindlessly, but I do expect participants on this list to do a bit better.
Please do not taunt the happy-fun ball.
