Thanks, How about this LEGISLATION UNDER CONSIDERATION in the U.S. Congress to combat terrorism will treat low-level computer crimes as terrorist acts and threaten hackers with life imprisonment, civil liberties group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said Thursday. EFF said that the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) will add low-level computer intrusion, already a crime under other laws, to the list of "federal terrorism offenses," creating penalties of up to life imprisonment. The act will also add broad pre-conviction asset seizure powers and serious criminal threats to those who "materially assist" or "harbor" individuals suspected of causing minimal damage to networked computers, EFF said in a statement. For the full story: infoworld.com **** I'm not to sure that I agree with this thinking. We can't even put away someone who killed someone else for life in prison.. What makes a computer system worth more than a human life? FT
