Stasi 2.0
Our Secretary of the Interior, star of my latest T-shirt, courtesy of dataloo, has been sitting in a wheel chair ever since an attack by a mentally challenged woman. Currently many people feel he is traumatized since and, spurred by terrorist threats, transforms into the an enemy of the state and constitution himself.
Stasi was the East German Secret Police. Stasi 2.0 is his vision. Including federal spyware that he wants to be able install and use secretly on private computers, prohibition of communication for suspects he cannot legally force to leave the country, camps for suspects without legal status (yeah, right, after the incredible success of Guantanamo), killing of suspected terrorists (by the way, in 2001 the FBI called the Reclaim the Streets freeparty movement a terrorist threat to the US), long-time storage of connection data and (already in place) criminalization of so-called hacker software, I.e. the tools every network admin and alert private user uses for penetration testing and the methods taught during every CompSci education.
