    No, you need to be worried that someone scans their own criminal face in, and labels it yours

  3. You're not a deadbeatdad, lawbreaker, or terrorist on WSIS Physical Security Cracked · · Score: 1
    Or a speeder....... what now?

    How is this different than a ticket issued by a cop who's using radar, and by the way-
    the state I live in, and every one I have lived in- automatically does give moving violations to insurance agencies, and rates do rise! based on violations of the motor vehicle sort..

    I've been having this ethical oddity lately.. from my youth when I was a rebellious sort, to now when I have wife child home, and don't believe in 'breaking the law'

    I do feel strongly people are entitled to privacy and freedom of choice.. but the solution to the original post is Don't be a deadbeat, lawbreaker, terrorist, or speeder (interesting the OP doesn't consider speeders under lawbreaker)

    Why the hell should we worry about the cost for your high speed connection?

    1- PAY THE PREMIUM
    2- MOVE TO TOWN

    these are your choices.
    I pay taxes, and I own real estate.(well a mortgage)

    If I choose to live in the boonies for lower mortgage costs and lower tax values, I have to give up conveniences like corner coffe shops, and economical internet access..

    Move to new york, and you can have any of a plethora of connection options- including free wifi in places....
