Sorry but this pop-culture fixation on "terrorists" has been hijacked by the US Government to facilitate the systematic abrogation of all civil liberties and constitutionally guaranteed rights with the approval and assistance of the oppressed, (US).
We are no safer, the rogue government is infinitely more dangerous to the American people than "terrorists".
During the French revolution you could be "denounced" then beheaded. During the 1917 Russian revolution you could be "denounced" then shot or tortured, then shot. During Stalin's pogroms everybody was denouncing everybody else, they were all shot. The Nazi's turned government sponsored murder into a form of industry.
Why do you think that older people who have a good grasp of history say that this (Homeland/Security/Terrorism theater) can only lead to Interment camps and execution squads?
If you trust ANY government you are a FOOL! Keep your bags packed, money hidden and a spare passport ready, because no matter how egregious the evil, it's all "for your protection"!
I really don't see that this is any real revelation, It's NOT a free country (unless you're very, very rich) and it's NOT "By the people for the people", it's by the money for the money!
No matter what color you are, your ancestors were black skinned! A moronic cracker thinks that Raquel Welch really was the female archetype in 1,000,000 BC!
So, you don't remember "Citizens United"? Thomas, Scalia & Roberts have taken this august body down a path nobody could have predicted! Even Obama called Roberts out on this!
In what we used to call the "free world" you actually needed a reason to deprive someone of their liberty. Now in the "free world?" You can be locked up for anything, anytime at the whim of a politically ambitious prosecutor or a bad tempered cop or both!
That's why in the USofA we have the largest prison population in the world and the second largest number of executions (after China) and the weight of the "prison-industrial" complex and the "surveillance-society" is helping to choke America to death!
Most of what the government says, does, etc is nothing more than self serving propaganda, they will seize any opportunity to further expand their power (at the expense of civil liberties) example: 9/11 = "Patriot Act" (we ALL know what an unconstitutional nightmare that is) or how Nixon declared a "War on drugs" and so turned local police departments into occupying armies. The government foments fear among the American people using it's controlled media and using that fear as a tool of coercive mass control makes the people themselves complicit in their own oppression!
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin
Back in the early 50's (Korean war) I built my first kit (crystal set), and more in the following years, AM/FM/SW radio, reel to reel tape recorder, Morse HAM unit, I loved them!
Even the wifi tablets? the netbooks? the laptops? the wifi cell phones? What if they are encrypted? What if they use removable storage (SDHC)? What if the device ain't home? The legal system is out of touch with reality.
As to "keep old folks in the game" You WILL NOT GET HIRED if you are over 50! Don't challenge me on this, I've lived it, and everybody I know in my age group who has lost their job has experienced the same thing! There are thousands of older engineers, technicians and system administrators who with a little brush-up could be re-integrated into the work force!
The little twenty five year old HR drones have been instructed to shitcan any resumes that appear to come from older workers and if one slips by then you are told that you're "over qualified".
The employers want more H1B's cause they work cheap and are afraid to make waves!
Actually, IMHO, The US will probably have some of the "exposed/endangered" assassinated so as to make Assange responsible for their deaths! This way they get their extradition, their toy, and their public execution!
What a GREAT way to distract people and make Obama look like a "tough" guy!
Actually the mass curve is way more abrupt (steep) than you indicate, the power needed to accelerate to relativistic speeds is exponentially greater than your figures suggest.

Nothing more, what he did was worth (at most) one year in minimum security and a ruinous fine! The fact that the posturing, corrupt little villains in law enforcement chose to exploit this for their own personal aggrandizement just highlights the failings of the (so called) "Justice" system!

Anybody remember Acorn? They didn't do so well!
Arm on the desktop? been there, done that, went broke.

You have no rights!
Once more for emphasis, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS!
And you can't sue the government, if you make too much noise you'll get a flight on a Paul Wellstone plane!
Dubya said that the constitution is "just a piece of paper", I think that says it all.
The phrase (US Government) should heretofore be referred to as the (Washington criminal cabal), for the sake of accuracy!

Obama, Justice Roberts & the whole corporate government by bribery model has taken another step towards the collapse of America!
And what is their "resting/neutral" electrical state?
Do they tend to form a molecular lattice?

I'm going to nybble on some Doritos and write some code in M68K assembler!
Stop quoting text books and try to do some of your own math.
Not "nibble" it's nybble cause it's byte not bite.
