Update on the NWA boarding pass generator

["Dude VanWinkle" <dudevanwinkle () gmail com>]

I know you guys dont like /. but this is where I saw it:

from: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/10/28/2358202.shtml

*"The FBI has raided the home <http://slightparanoia.blogspot.com/> of
Christopher Soghoian, the grad student who created the NWA boarding pass
site <http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/10/27/2124231.shtml?tid=172>. Details can
be found on his blog <http://slightparanoia.blogspot.com/> including a
scanned copy of the warrant. The bad news is that he really did break the
law. The good news is that Senator Charles Schumer did it
first<http://www.senate.gov/%7Eschumer/SchumerWebsite/pressroom/press_releases/2005/PR4123.aviationsecurity021305.html>,
19 months ago, on an official government website no less. The outcome of
this trial should be at least academically interesting. At best, it could
result in nullifying some portion of the law(s) that the TSA operates
under."* Read on for Sparr0's take on what laws may apply in this case.

Boiling down some of the legalese, the charges (if any are filed) will be
"conspiracy to knowingly present a false and fictitious claim upon or
against the United States, or any department or agency thereof in violation
of USC 18 (secs.
2<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000002%E2%80%94000-.html>,
371<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000371%E2%80%94000-.html>,
1036<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00001036%E2%80%94000-.html>,
1343<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00001343%E2%80%94000-.html>,
2318<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00002318%E2%80%94000-.html>)
and USC 49 (secs.
46314<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode49/usc_sec_49_00046314%E2%80%94000-.html>and
46316<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode49/usc_sec_49_00046316%E2%80%94000-.html>)
and 49 CFR (secs.
1540.103<http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/09nov20051500/edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2005/octqtr/49cfr1540.103.htm>and
1540.105<http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/09nov20051500/edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2005/octqtr/49cfr1540.105.htm>)"
