you kidding? The problems with this are numerous. First, the source is Fox News,
which is about a half step up from the Drudge Report. Secondly, what is the
basis for believing that this is even possible? I am unaware of any technology
that would allow all internet traffic to be proxied through a single
location.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

saying something that will get you arrested is an interesting one. Larry -
nothing you can say, short of threatening people or yelling fire in a crowded
theater will get you arrested. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Per the following article: <A
href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,37203,00.html">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,37203,00.html</A> it
appears as if the FBI now wants to route ALL Internet traffic through it's
central servers!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What gall!! What nerve!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now, for all of you who said, "Hey, I'm not doing anything
wrong, let the FBI monitor what it wants to." can go shove hot spikes up your
nose.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I don't think the FBI really wants to control
the Internet, they want to destabilize it. As tyranny
approaches the only thing more dangerous than an armed populace is an informed
one. If they can monitor all the traffic, they can certainly control
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The ISP's (whatever those are) need to collectively tell the
FBI to go jump off a bridge. Information campaigns need to be sent to
the customers to alert them of the potential loss of civil
liberties.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm gonna stop before I say something that will get me
arrested.</FONT></DIV>
