Someone might want to let the idiots in washington know that snort is open source and can be download from anywhere on the freaking planet. The SourceFire software, while enhanced and beefed out a bit, is still snort. This is what happens when you let people who do not understand technology make decisions that limit it. Bunch of freakin morons....
