      He was probably caught in Guatemala's firewall. The worm.

      "he has been arrested in Guatemala after trying to enter the country illegally."

      You'd think he'd know better than to try and use a Trojan horse.

      Anonymous Coward, whoever you may be: I don't hold your post against you. Jokes of this nature are simply obligatory. What would a three hour opera be like when missing the final note of the final crescendo? Or "Shave and a haircut" without "two bits"? Or "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrreeess" without "Johnny!"? Certain things must be done, and certain words must be said. I thank you, as a fellow human being, for making this sacrifice, and providing one of the thousands of obligatory jokes that have been posted to Slashdot over the years.

      Moderators: Thank you, for clicking the drop-list, selecting "Funny" (and not accidentally anything else, as your moderation takes affect immediately and cannot be corrected), and consuming one of your moderation points to bring the obligatory joke to our attention. The joining together of individuals, possibly from the far reaches of the globe, to orchestrate such humor, is truly humbling and brings a tear to my eye.

    Mcafee got arrested.
    A guy who allegedly understands security murders someone (allegedly), and then proceeds to be "on the run" throughout the third world, while stopping twice a day to give the media an interview, tell them where he is and what he's up to, reality TV style.
    The surprising twist in the story: The authorities found him.
    Who woulda bloody thunk.
    This guy should be shot for stupidity even before being tried for murder.

    That might be racial profiling if we did it. Can't have that. Must keep groping old ladies and young girls in wheelchairs. That's the American way.
