FBI Nabs Chicago Transit Authority Radio Hacker

Wh15per writes "The Chicago FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested an individual for misusing Chicago Transit Authority radio systems. Marcel Carter, 20, is charged with violating a US code that forbids interference with transportation operators. A federal complaint alleges he began using a radio to transmit on CTA frequencies in June 2008, often interjecting comments during communications between the agency's control center and train operators. The CTA claims Carter's radio communications were never followed, and passengers were never in danger."

    In my youth, segregation was legal, and blacks and women could not vote. In my youth, we did not have the type of suicide terrorism we have now.
    Times change and this is new area where there are terrorist and potential evildoers who aim for these soft targets, so get over it.

    Now that I've utterly smashed and destroyed your idiotic drivel, I expect moderators to mod you to oblivion for being such a twit.

    He's an idiot on their frequency, thereby endangering the passengers.

    Trying to get elected with that sensationalism are you?

    you need to go further and call his actions "terrorist" and how he endangered the "entire city".

    what he did was stupid, but you are doing the same thing by acting like a Fox news reporter.
