I wonder if posting information about security flaws

(presumeably so that one could fix it)

inadvertantly enabling microsofts so called cyber-terrorists (trojan/worm/virus authors)

would allow the US to lock a programmer up for life?

While I think it is extreme of Alan, I do understand his point of

view, these laws are entirely to powerful given the vagueness of

what is and isn't allowed.
