"In other news, the Senate Select Committee on Children's and Workplace
Safety met today to consider the Total Safety Awareness Bill.
Newly-appointed Commissioner of Child Safety, John Poindexter, declared
that TSA will "finally make the streets safe for children." He
dismissed any concern that this bill is just a rehashing of the failed
Total Information Awareness program."

member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm
to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient
warrant." --John Stuart Mill
