Max Vision: FBI pawn?
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2001-05-08

FBI agents called him 'the Equalizer': a security expert and confessed hacker who infiltrated the electronic underground to help the Bureau. When he drew the line at bugging a friend, they threw the book at him.

Hmmm, look at it another way....if I were to physically break into your house, install some new door locks and a new security system, give you the keys and keep a set for myself, would I be guilty of a crime?

Would you be upset that I had access to yer porno-stash, significant other's underwear drawer? Even if I didn't take any trophys or ever use the spare set of keys that I made for myself for YOUR place, wouldn't you consider this an invasion?

Plus, check this out: he ratted out hackers to save his own butt. I'd like to hear from the folks he scr*wed over.
