People that would want to use ad-hoc line-of-sight links to avoid monitoring are probably going to want to do that regardless of whether CISPA is passed; if they mistrust the government to that degree, then they're probably not going to believe they're *not* being monitored in any case. On the other hand, is the average Internet user likely to stop using and/or contributing to Wikimedia projects because of CISPA? I would think not; generally speaking, accessing Wikimedia projects is not something that people wish to keep secret, particularly in the US. So, regardless of how anyone might personally feel about CISPA: is there any reason why Wikimedia *as a movement* should feel threatened by it?
