The Government only censors when they feel threatened. They are scared. Who knows why? Kevin was only speaking about how to protect yourself on the internet. In 1798, Congress passed the sedition act, which prohibited people from speaking out against the government. It turns out the Federalists didn't want to lose office, so they tried to eliminate the competition. This was clearly a violation of the First Amendment and was repealed. During World War I, a similar act was passed, but in 1919, it was also overturned. Why is Kevin Mitnick any different? Him speaking won't hurt the welfare of the United States, yet, they are either scared of him, or they simply hate him. This, like the sedition and Espionage Acts, are a violation of rights, and history shows that unfair acts like this will be overturned in court. As far as I know, he still has his rights, doesn't he?

I know of an CD Player that will: Play CDs with MP3s on them Play Regualr Music CDs Play a combination of Music cds and mp3 cds Allow songs to be able to be stored in directories on the disk Supports Playlists and can play cd-rws It sounds amazing! www.mambox.com
It's not like they are going to use it on people who are doing things like MP3s. They don't want to risk it coming out that they did something like that. They would only use it if they thought something was going on that would threaten national security, like terrorists in the US using PCs as communication.
Just wondering, did they say that the odds were one in 37 million for any one person to match another person at random? When only looking at 6 loci? Or did they say that the odds are one in 37 million that someone would match someone else in their database? Because with 660,000 people in the database, that would cut a 1 in 37 million chance way down. 37 Million/660000 = about 56.

I strongly agree!
