Re: <s>Penetration</s> Testing the System .... Out of this World Style

Put baldly, we who are technologically gifted or skilled can, with the mere addition of a cheap bit of hardware, are a threat to those with any form of power (economic, force, ...). Much as not all that long ago with firearms or earlier with the bow or crossbow, we can reach out and touch someone except now that can be half-way around the globe. This law is just another example of how *they* are reacting to such a threat to their power. Expect far worse. The frog has to be conditioned by increments to allow the process to continue. 'Twouldn't do to have it hop out prematurely.
