My conclusion is that conscientious objectors to the trampling of civil liberties and rampant invasion of privacy should "compromise" more computers, more often. Mere suspicion is a null argument against individual rights and I don't care what it takes to prove that to all the knee jerk, screaming monkeys out there. Classical liberalism isn't just a way out of the divine right of kings, but also a hedge against an unthinking mob that will commence a witchhunt on rumor and innuendo.

Anyone who thinks it's unethical to ask one to pay for the mistakes of others should pay close attention. Terrorism and child pr0n? I don't owe a jihadi or a pedo my civil rights, thanks.
