Computer related crime is a joke to begin with... Some kid who cracks a password is subject to decades of no-parole time in Federal prision while rapists and molesters get 5-7 with parole in two years.

I imagine now that "homeland security" is the current trend, politically ambitious us attorneys will be merrily prosecuting the ignorant as potential terrorists.

I feel safer already.
