Smith <rms () computerbytesman com> To: 'Declan McCullagh' <declan () well com> Hi Declan,It appears that there is a growing group of "geeks" who are being singled
out as "terrorists". Although suspected or charged with terror-related crimes, these folks in many cases were simply in the wrong place at thewrong time, have quirky hobbies, or showed poor judgement. Attached is a
