Big Brother's back in town -- 11:33 pm CST, Update by The Master

Saw this article on zdnet on a new attempt by the Department of Justice to get access to private citizen's PCs without their knowledge under sealed warrents and remove any security softare so that the DOJ can spy on them without their knowledge.

Okay, I can see the need for the DOJ to be able to get access to the machines of drug traffickers and stuff. But this is a bit broad, isn't it?!? And wouldn't it be just great if the DOJ broke all your security on your system and thus made it possible for REAL criminals to attack, take over, and turn your machine to illegal use while the DOJ is watching? Wonderful. It's amazing how totalitarian a democracy can be (the evil goodness is?)
