Ashcrofties threaten to shut down open wireless

Consultants working for the Department of Homeland Security have announced that the Feds view open WiFi as a means of abetting terrorists, and say that they will compel the open wireless operators will have to close off their nets.

Homeland Security is putting people in place who will be in a position to say, 'If you're going to get broken into … we're going to start regulating.'

Y'know, when I moved to this country, the Bill of Rights seemed immutable. There was a Constitutionally guaranteed right to anonymous speech, written in by the anonymous authors of the Federalist Papers, who went on to found this nation. But who needs a Constitution if you've got homeland security?
