IMO, it is Constitutionally permissible for a state to make it a
criminal offense for a person to operate a computer system in such a
manner that a substantial, avoidable risk exists that that computer
system may be used in the furtherance of illegal acts, especially if
the operator of the computer is or should have been aware of the
substantial risk.  Whether any existing law does so is another
question.

Mate, if that were the case, half the computer systems at half the
buisnesses in america would be breaking the law...
