I think that if you give your students copies of your comp.risks article, they should all be sufficiently disheartened with American law that they will quit the program and you can then present your lectures to a class devoid of foreign (or any) students. Alternatively, you could check passports at the door, and boot out foreign students during the parts of your class which are essential to American Sickurity. By doing so you will raise eyebrows well outside of the computer-and-law sphere of interest and you may bring this ludicrous situation into the limelight. But then, you may get sacked. Probably a much more effective solution to your problem, and one which has recently been proven perfectly legal and acceptable in an American court, would be for you to merely shoot dead all the foreigners in your class, after which you can speak freely. - ----[ remainder of post omitted ]------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.2 iQCVAgUBLAz9X5RLcZSdHMBNAQHQnwP9F8asul5g8tl4hhb9cLJZ9rz+0UeNUQb2 aGK+Bhx6onigi/HwseMjZP3BFSDHUzB3IuzpIjkIBj1BBEB24ZCtZVx9i4M9cIwI wObnkA7YQ0LIr2Ut4d37vQRU36VyltprRB7toqhuGWpv1ZMAp91uNQ4H3tIgXMYL 6sUplUkFMGQ= =C1Qo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Paul Ferguson | The future is now.
