'G20 Geek' Byron Sonne Cleared of Explosives Charges
New submitter davegravy writes "Byron Sonne, the Toronto-based security consultant, chemistry hobbyist, and geek who was arrested leading up to the Toronto G-20 for alleged plans to bomb the event, has been found not guilty of all charges. Sonne was held in prison for 11 months without receiving bail, and the ruling comes two years after his arrest. Sonne is considered by many in the Toronto security community as a champion of civil rights and a sharp critic of security theatre."
I read this as "D20 Geek" - looks like he rolled his saving throw!

The court found he was not trying to bomb the government. After 11 months in jail for no reason, he certainly has the motive to do it now.
it is very alarming how technologically inept the authorities were in this case and how they ignored Occam's Razor to nail this guy.
Well, duh, Occam's Razor was banned along with nail clippers and shaving cream exceeding 100 ml.
And these are the people that judge and impose laws on us techies.
Hopefully those who impose laws and those who judge are two separate branches of government, even in Canada.
Didn't both of them leave him?
Those who oppose learning the difference between its and it is are often the apostrophe's first victims.
I'll wager ye three swine against your sister's maidenhead you'll still be wrong in 2014.
