Call Yourself a Hacker, Lose Your 4th Amendment Rights

An anonymous reader writes "As described on the DigitalBond blog, a security researcher was subjected to a court ordered search in which a lack of pre-notification was premised on his self description as a 'hacker.' From the court order, 'The tipping point for the Court comes from evidence that the defendants – in their own words – are hackers. By labeling themselves this way, they have essentially announced that they have the necessary computer skills and intent to simultaneously release the code publicly and conceal their role in that act.'"

    Every "legal" Gun owner has his Guns registered. So your argument is moot.

    The constitution says nothing about gun registration. Stop making registration into something ti is not.

    Also:
    The constitution specifically says congress has the right to regulate. It's IN the fucking amendment.

    I like how you don't have an actual argument so you use Ad Hom to spread FUD. The PR company that runs the NRA must be proud of you.

    You make it sound like you've never met the twits from Texas, who really can't keep their fingers off the damn triggers.
