That's all fine and dandy until you consider the international base of these things. I'd like to see "...jackbooted [US is implied in the text] government thugs...kicking in a door somewhere and confiscating every powered device and every living person in the building" in China, an African country, Russia, or <insert country of choice here>. These things span continents and countries and every time you cutoff the current head, it immediately spawns another and not always in a country that cares. scott
