Being a security professional myself, this makes me very afraid. While the government wants everyone to have secure networks, how in the heck are you supposed to see how secure your network is, if common tools can't be used!?!? Another thing, being a computer science student, this irritates me because to me programming and computer systems design is an art to be appreciated, and when you are arrested for writing elegant code, that artisitic freedom that all artists enjoy is taken away! Why not arrest the whole computer industry. Besides we all have computers right?
