Yes, in this time of the "Busch"wackers, it is all too easy for the gov'ment to rob us of our freedom.  And unfortunately there are far too many corporate types ready to take advantage of that in the name of the almighty buck. Wired is cool though.  They went on to say " He did not say, though, how legislators would determine the difference between malicious information and that used for legitimate security research, or whether such a law might compromise freedom of speech."

Subject: [inbox] [Full-Disclosure] Security firm Symantec has rubbed subscribers to the Full-Disclosure mailing list the wrong way

"Security firm Symantec has rubbed subscribers to the Full-Disclosure mailing list the wrong way by due to a quote attributed to its chief operating officer, John Schwarz.

In a Wired story titled " Just Say No to Viruses and Worms", Schwarz was quoted as calling for laws to make it a criminal offence to share information and tools online which could be used by malicious hackers and virus writers. "
