It is sad when all these people worry about their systems and their networks being "attacked" by hackers,so called computer geeks etc. They then provide this easy access for law enforcement under the ever popular excuse to protect us from terrorism.Whats to stop one of these poorly secured sytems from being hacked? I am willing to bet that they have not considered that to the fullest extent. With the way the government can just blow through privacy acts and continue to put Americans in positions we would rather not be in. Constantly taking our rights and doing whatever they want will eventually grow even more weary in the hearts of Americans such as myself. I for one am sick of it, sick of reading about kids serving way more time than rapists just for finding a weakness in a department stores system. It wouldn't be so bad but even if they reported the weakness they will still serve a steep sentence half the time. They will keep pushing us "hackers" around but eventually we will start living up to how bad they make us out to be. It will spark a revoulution. When we "hackers" snap what will they do then? You cannot even purchase a cheeseburger without a computers help these days, pump gas you name it. So as a "hacker" I ask you all this: What will you do when we have had enough and blow the backdoors off of these sytems? We may some day become exactly what you have made us out to be and if and when it happens, how will you purchase your cheeseburger? Better yet who will serve it to you? Watch your backdoors.
