Nov. 30th, 2011 12:39 pmHey, why not pass a law allowing the military to detain US citizens at any time, without a warrant, without having a trial, without pressing charges, etc? All they need to do is claim that someone's a terrorism suspect! What could possibly go wrong?
Seriously, sometimes I wonder if Congress is actually just reading Cory Doctorow novels for inspiration and not understanding who the good guys are.

Me, I'm installing a privix on an encrypted flash drive with tor browser and looking at creating a new online persona, then fire-walling that from my current one. I doubt that'd stop them if they really wanted to find me, but it should make it hard enough that it's not worth the effort for what's a relatively minor irritation.
