So deputies spent the past few weeks finding unsecure connections and sending 40 to 50 letters to let people know about the potential dangers of strangers accessing their network connections. 'You're just opening yourself up for a series of potential pitfalls,' Chief Deputy Jeff Bliemeister said. ... Bliemeister said only businesses like coffee shops that offer Internet connections to customers need unsecured Internet connections.

And also, the Administration is full of corrupt would-be fascists. I don't much like Sheriff Arpaio, but I support him in trying to discover politicians' lies. Barack Obama is a fucking liar and piece of shit.
He's a politician, what do you expect? If you expect any differently from any of those further right of him (he's not in the left wing, for the record, obama is right of center) you're deluded.
