Where is the observation that the fucking CIA has a special, tiny, secret cubbyhole where they store this shit and hundreds have access to it?
Apparently, the gubmint learned not one fucking thing from Manning and Snowden.
And, for fuck's sake, don't use the word "treason," when it's "espionage."
Treason has two major components that are missing in this context:
1.) A United States Citizen declaring war on the United States. Where's that goddam manifesto? The last time that happened was the Civil War when the Confederacy committed treason.
2.) Aiding the enemy. The United States does not have a list of enemies. The gubmint considered a list of enemies years ago, but it got complicated. There are guidelines, policies, procedures of law that go into effect for an official enemy.
Some of those enemies are allies of our allies. Also, "enemies" is a moving target. Also, any United States company who did any sort of business with an "enemy" would be charged with treason.
Obviously, America has morphed from a Republic to an oligarchy, and global business supersedes all other considerations.
The last list of enemies was World War Two.
Don't come at me with Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.
We are not at war with any country.
We are at euphemistic police actions or peace-keeping with those countries.
Thank you very much.
I'm moving on to another Slashdot thread where some contributors need my help in getting the attention the readers deserve.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
Jane Fonda did not declare ware on the United States.
The last time that happened was by the Confederacy.
She did not aid any enemy because America has no list of enemies.
The last list was WWII.
Jane Fonda was never charged with anything.
Love her or hate her, she exercised her right to freedom of expression and contributed greatly to the end of the Vietnam war.

My upbringing taught that religious music was a deliverance of gospel and the performer would have objected vehemently to any attention to self via admiration or applause because the gift was presented by God Himself.
... on a visit to Radio Shack, the sales guys were setting up this TV typewriter showing some crude blocks of white on black graphics and some all-cap text.
They "broke" it and I saw:

Then they fired it up again.
After 9 years in this man's Navy as an avionics tech working on a 64-8-bit computer with ferrite core and programming a TI calculator, I realized IT WAS A COMPUTER!!!
I told them to box it up. They said they couldn't because it was a store demo and the only one within 200 hundred miles.
The manager walked in and told them to sell it to me because, "That's what we do here."
I took it home, breezed through the manual, had it calculate orbital speeds based on distance from the Sun (some being beneath the surface and exhibiting relativistic speeds).
It was the TRS-80.
You can look up the specs.
I wrote articles for 80 Microcomputing and ordered an A-D converter from Analog Devices and made battery checkers and digital thermometers.
Saw one at the Smithsonian Institute, many years later, when I visited D.C.
It's their duty to protect their own goddam security and all Americans.
Given that they know millions of Americans are at risk from exploits they have not reported to the vendors, by your logic, the NSA is a traitor organization and qualifies for a drone strike.
The contract [with Unite Airlines], worth $2.1 billion, tasks the airline company with locating Assad, grabbing him from his seat in the presidential palace, and “dragging him out of Damascus by his arms.” The contract also notes that Assad should be “asked several times, politely” to give up his seat of power, though if he refuses, United workers should bloody his nose up a bit, according to the posting at FedBizOpps.

If it's not for you, don't buy it.
If it's useful to you, knock yourself out.
As for privacy, we don't have that, and we don't have any expectations of that.
As for compromising/embarrassing escapes to the wild, that is becoming normalized, just as leaks of personal data and login information is.
As we become more exposed (see what I did there), fewer will give a shit, be they perpetrator or victim.
The number is now in the billions.
Correct?
Fuck you.
A traitor is one who commits treason.
... and not one goddam comment to use them on.
That surprises me.

... I ever CC'd the boss was like:
To: asshole@suckycompany.com
From: Me
Subject: Your stuff still doesn't work ...
I know that you want to make my firm happy, and you know I do too.
So far, I'm the only one making any positive contributions, which results in your company's performance sucking big time.
Because you are incompetent, I am CC'ing my boss, your boss, and, to get the point across I'm CC'ing YOU.
Please fix this before end of work day Friday or I will be scheduling a meeting with you, me, my boss, and your boss on Monday.
Sincerely,
Me
CC: Me, You, My Boss, Your Boss
Sorry. My apologies.
Thanks.
No.

That's why Snowden was charged with espionage and not treason.
The air strip was not destroyed.
It was operational in 24 hours.

People are smarter than computers.

I was speaking from experience, you insensitive clod.
From TFS:
According to court documents, after resigning from his job, a former sysadmin kept one of two laptops.
... for a sysadmin.
Know where the logs are and erase the goddam things.
The real message is that all these people can get into IoT.
And makes 8 people dead.
So it's the fault of the 8 dead people ...

The automation cannot have the same information as humans available because it doesn't even know how to scream to a deaf God to make it stop.
Says you NOW after 8 deaths.
Humans saw the folly of the decision-making process and rushed to a valve downstream and turned it off.
No computer is SMARTER than a human being.
AI is bullshit until a computer decides to commit suicide when it loses connection to Facebook.
