Build a Secret Compartment, Go To Jail

KindMind writes "Alfred Anaya was a custom stereo installer who branched out to making secret compartments for valuables, who the DEA sent to prison as a co-conspirator when a drug dealer used his creation to smuggle drugs. But Wired points out the bigger question: 'The challenge for anyone who creates technology is to guess when they should turn their back on paying customers. Take a manufacturer of robot kits for hobbyists. If someone uses those robots to patrol a smuggling route or help protect a meth lab, how will prosecutors determine whether the company acted criminally?'"

    Protests in Chicago: http://rt.com/usa/chicago-school-protests-arrests-969/ They were protesting the closing of schools. How 'feral'.

    How did something as vile as your post ever get modded up?
