Yep.
Siliness, compounded. Show me a law about "obligatory cameras in cybercafes."

I took the first reference as rhetorical excess from Morlock, but saying "Yep" risks leading people to believe the U.S. and Europe have such laws. The U.S. does not. I know folks running cybercafes (I pity them) and none of them have cameras installed under government edict.







Also, one of unmentioned consenquences is that any "security" will make

self-organising networks harder to implement. Guess who benefits.

But we will always have phone booths and acoustic couplers.
Phone booths already don't accept calls, by State Fiat. You think
detecting and dropping modem calls
from a CO is tough?

I'm waiting for it to be a PATRIOT offense for using an antennae to hit
a cellular basestation other than
the nearest one an omni would hit. Or to be operating a motor vehicle
on a public road
with an operating computer with an 802.11 card. Or photographing any
federal building or official.

At least the tragicomicretins in
http://www.wired.com/news/wireless/0,1382,56742,00.html
invented the cool new acronym: TAP, "terrorist access points". This is
a concise (if hysterical
in both senses) Spec of a useful system. If its good enough for
Everyone, its good enough for the Horsemen.
If its not a TAP, you might as well paint a friggin bullseye on your
back.
