Sorry, but I believe that my right to privacy, and right to working USB devices that don't blow up at random because some programmer thought I entered a terrorist word outweighs any hassling TLA. This is a legal issue and should be continued in federal and international courts. I just don't find it cool that a "TLA" shuts someone down at all. Who'd want to buy these products then? And how stupid do you have to be? Lastly why would a state allow its citizens to buy such products? Oh yeah warranty right? Who's really got time to go back to the store they bought something at just because they entered a suspicious word, or had another "suspicious" device on the hub? The danger here is that people will be turned off from technology increasing the gap between an elite and regular people. When such a gap widens productivity and evolution suffers. Orwellian societies evolve out of it; but "TLA" sounds so great doesn't it? It's like bragging about your big brother that beats everyone up.
