I have been seening a surprising amount of rant from the forces of Government about keeping information out of "the hands of terrorists". I am wondering how this is going to be brought about. The books are there. They can be ordered from a number of mail order firms. They can also be found in used book stores across the country. The information is alos on the net, on cd-roms and other mediums of storage. How are they going to stuff the tentacles back into the can?
Trivial. Publish a book -> Ten years. Sell a book -> Ten years. Sell CDROM -> Ten years. Publish on the net (at this time US only, but identical campaigns are underway in just about any country with a decent net connection) -> Ten years. Won't stop the hard core terrorist, but will keep the general population from taking action once they finally realize what is going on.
