Obama passing new law to allow searching of PC’s, Laptops, and media devices
Folks, mp3 players and even laptops are cheap these days, so have an mp3 player and laptop you use for everyday life and a second cheap set you use to travel, not only because the travel set can be sanitized but because the TSA are probably going to drop and break it anyway.
ATTENTION TERRORISTS: The US Government has just opened the door for your activities. Buy an mp3 player, load it up with downloaded stolen music and just leave it abandoned in the waiting area at the boarding gate. Watch who “recovers” it and get in line behind them. The TSA will be so orgasmic at having found a real music pirate they will ignore you while you carry that SCUD missile onto the airplane!
ATTENTION AIRLINES: You know, I really did want to buy a ticket to fly to that trade show, but I can’t take the risk that the TSA goons will steal my clients’ data from my laptop while searching it for illegal copies of rap music, so I am going to stay home and read sales brochures instead. I know you are just hovering at the edge of bankruptcy and that several thousand business travelers deciding to cancel their trips for security reasons (i.e. to protect themselves from the government) will probably drive you under, but heck, that’s the way the economy crumbles, when the government makes it impossible for us all go on about our business.
ATTENTION MEDIA CORPORATIONS: Your sales of movies did not decline because of piracy. The buying public just got sick of all those remakes of stories we have already seen, especially about Germany in the middle of the last century.
