Your Online Marketplace for Classified Jet Parts

Posted by timothy on from the flux-capacitor-shipped-separately dept.

jonerik writes: "Reuters is reporting that the U.S. Air Force is less than pleased about the recent posting of a number of sensitive jet communications components on eBay, including parts for the SR-71 spy plane, the F-16 fighter, the KC-10 tanker, and the giant C-5 transport. According to the article, the parts had sat in a warehouse for 12 years after being lost in shipping when the dealer, Norb Novocin, bought the lot for $244 in an unclaimed property sale. Novocin ended up selling four of the items to bidders in a recent auction, including an X-Band Weather Radar Modulator for $500 and a high-frequency radio circuit card for $32. The Air Force is looking into the incident and Novocin is cooperating."

    I'm sorry, but any self-respecting GPL supporter will realise that the only danger here is that information is disseminated. Isn't that the very mission of the FSF, to make information Free?

    Or is it "information wants to be Free, except when the government is using that information to fight Nasty Terrorists"? I guess that excuses CIA files, wiretapping through the PATRIOT act, etc, etc.

    Hardly worth the effort, I have no doubt that supply far exceeds demand
