RE: New laws in the wings

["Keith.Morgan" <Keith.Morgan () Terradon com>]

Reading that article to the letter, and assuming no provision for intent,
this would make almost every security professional, and possibly most IT
professionals accessories to terrorists by default.  We are asking our
representative for a full copy of the legislation for review by our
attorneys.  If there is no mention of intent in the legislation, a federal
judge's hands would be tied.  He would be forced to hand down a life
sentance regardless of the absurdity of the situation. 

I'll post our conclusions upon reading the bill in it's entirety.
