I certainly hope that this stupidity doesn't spread into Ohio. I'm doing an independant research project at my school using honeypots, specifically, honeyd. It sure would suck to go to jail for doing a school project.

I wonder if my professor would come with me, since he was the one who first introduced the topic to me?

This is the problem that happens when people make laws about things they do not understand. I certainly wouldn't want to make a law without being educated on the issue at stake, and I'm just a 22 year old college kid. You would think that a grown adult elected to a public offic would have more common sense than this.

So, now that proxy servers, NAT, firewalls, etc. and the like have now been outlawed in Michigan and other states, just how exactly are large businesses going to run?

Hmmm... Now that I think about it, this may be good for the IT market, if only for a short while. Get some businessman up at the top to believe that his business is illegal and he'll hire all kinds of help to cover his rear.

I'm unemployed, Summer is coming up. Anyone need a college intern for the next three months? Let me know. ;o)
