America is turning dictatorial. They're trying to say that my open wifi hub in my rural 10 square acre lot is terroristic.
"We know that (an attack) could bring down the network of this country very quickly [...]" from my <1Mb cable internet connection and wifi hub
"Homeland Security is putting people in place who will be in a position to say, 'If you're going to get broken into ... we're going to start regulating,'" said Cable and Wireless security architect Shannon Myers
First they make me fence my pool because a 2 year old MIGHT be able to fall in and drowned because its parents are morons. Now they want to take away my WiFi?
That's it, I'm moving to the Mediterranean!

It's everyone sponge.
"Wi-Fi manufacturers, as well as home and office users, face a clear choice, they said: Secure yourselves or be regulated."
That's in the first paragraph. I thought what you were thinking at first, too. But it's for everyone, home users and corporate users a like.

9thOption, what you just posted. Read IAO's vision, the list of objectives...
"Other aids for human cognition and human reasoning," is the last one. What, are they going to start regulating my brain waves, too? This is enough to make a person want to suicide into Heaven today (jk of course, but you get the idea).

And you all want to know why I don't like living in the US? I'm seriously moving to Australia where things aren't this screwed up.

I'm not kidding though, 1984 might only be off by 25 years!
Athough Orwell underestimated the man. He'll bring us the police state in the name of freedom, and no one will question him. Scary huh.
I'm this close to starting a revolution.

In Canada porn is free on TV. It's just a locally broadcast channel like any other. I learned that on one of my church's youth ski trips

To all the American Infidels. Please leave your wireless network connections open. I like to surf the infernet from my secret spy bunkers.
Thanking you,
