If you transmit something via RF, anyone can listen to it. It doesn't matter the content. If you don't take precautions to restrict access to information, then you might as well be giving it away. It doesn't matter that the Police don't want me listening to their transmissions, they don't encrypt them, or protect them, so they are mine for the taking; weather or not the freq is listed (although it almost always is listed here in the US). URLs like frequencies are just way of addressing specific data. (from the human point of view...)
It all depends on whos view you use. It was OK for the Russians to break US law in russia, from the russians point of view. It was ok for the US to break Russian law from the US, from the point of view of the US. However, I would venture to say, It is wrong for the US to break Russian law from the US , from the russians point of view. AND it is wrong for Russians to break US from russia, from the US point of view.
Now with that all said and done, it is the side with the power to do something about the situation that makes the change. Obviously the russian gov doesn't care, or (most likly) can't much about the situation of the FBI breaking their laws. The US, however, does care about the russians breaking US laws in Russian, and can and HAS done something about it. I don't agree with the US.
Since these devices have a "sweet spot" I can see great applications for automotive applications. the passengers are ususally at a constant location (also in airplanes) these screens could be used to effectivly overlay a real picture in 3d or some other navigational data or perhaps something else clever...any other ideas...

Interesting solution, giving computers to a people

I think that this situation is rather odd.
I mean here we are trying to crack the bad guys
hard encryption, and using the massive information
gathering resources of the US on this situation.
Now it is well known that the bad guys do use this good stuff and all the technology they can get but what about when the technology is used secondary in favor of the more "primitave" forms.
It would seem that our war is focused on the technology used in communications and other area's
If it was me I'd use the big-bad-technology as a front of communications.
I could email all these horrible and evil ideas and plans to friends and assoc, (all encrypted of course). and then I could piggy back a strong radio signal with other data so that only thoes who knew about it would listen to it. (of couse it is also encrypted)
But the thing is, I know that everyone is looking here and everyone is listening, and everyone has already hacked my encryption, and everyone knows who else these message were sent to.
but what no one else knows is that it was all fake. a wild goose chase.
because the real "bad-message" was sent on a post
card and anything that was secret was written in
lemmon juice with my Cap'n Fantastic Decoder ring
that I found last week in the cereal.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I just want people to stop being terrorized. I want people to stop this willing release of personal rights and privacy.
I just want people to stop and think for a moment.
and not let the terrorist shap the way they think and live.
ie, don't change the security for other people on the air planes. simply put a button on the plane, attaced to a computer (seperate from the other computer) that will dump the fuel of the plane and
make an emergency landing somewhere where it will not run into anything else (ie buildings, mountians, things that planes should not touch)
I realize that no such system exists, but with all
the money saved on new scanning machines and
security personel and training and other various
equipment, the system could eaily be developed.
I also realize that is is not the only solution,
but its a start, and in a direction that is
overall better.

I don't see the humor, but what would you be audited for? I'm sorry but I sure don't use M$ products
