FBI agents arrested a Louisiana man last week for allegedly tricking a handful of MSN TV users into running a malicious e-mail attachment that reprogrammed their set-top boxes to dial 9-1-1 emergency response.

Face the new reality. You have no rights. The government just has to utter the word terrorism and you are, effectively, no longer a citizen of the US.

Sure September 11th was bad. What's more of a surprise is that it never happened until now and how the people of the US just sit back and watch all their rights disappear. In the end history will tell what was worse... 3000 deaths or or the complete loss accountabilty of the State.

I know where my bet is.
