This probably won't sound like that big of a deal, but it 
still bothered me so I figured I'd ask the list. I was 
teaching a Web Application Security class last week and we 
were performing simple XXS, SQL Injection, etc on the 
vulnerable web apps I use for class.


So, what's the pool up to now?  I have $50 on two weeks before the FBI
closes down the school, takes all the computers in the school, executes
a search warrant for every students computer, and the bright boy
teaching the class spends thousands of dollars trying to explain to a
Judge (that reads the newspaper about hacks on banks) that what he did
was not hacking.
