Spielberg on Privacy, Minority Report

Staring at Nothing writes "In this ABC News story famed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg voices some concerns over the current state of privacy and paranoia in a post-9/11 world. Some of Spielberg's recent movies, like AI and Minority Report have brought us haunting views of the future, but the present may be just as scary. He mentions software being developed to monitor "abnormal behavior" and concerns about originality being misconstrued as dangerous behavior." The story has some minor plot spoilers about Minority Report.

I'm a class A terrorist threat

I've recently been working on an animation project (an atomic bomb). Its a kind of arty project but to get the right effects i spent allot of time reasearching nuclear weapons. I've visited hundereds of web-sites and downloaded close to 100Mb of test films, photos and written reports on nuclear effects, and the physics of nuclear explosions and mushroom clouds. If my isp looks through my logs (lets face it, someone probably does) what are they going to think? I know what i'd think. At school i was pretty much voted most-likely-to-become-a-terrorist. I have copies of the terrorists hand-book on my computer, I hate G.W.Bush (I even had 3 of my comments removed from slashdot for threatening the president:
