New laws, a new generation, a name to be made, all the jargon filled in, paper work done and the system spins up.
If they can get away with this, they can expand, get more funding, get more arrests/body count/domain count? and grow. If they dont, they have a 'young' person to offer up. Try again next raid with new laws or better paper work. They are testing the press and US public. Support terrorism, porn, DMCA hardware, now seized domains - all seems to be a long list of fair game.
What was once a long term watch, log, report, build a case up to the top seems to be reduced to a simple chilling find anything then raid.
Reminds me of the movie "In The Loop" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQrqMkCuHqA with a very young 23 yo. baby-faced aide.
Strange how with all the cash, computer experts, total network dominance ect. the US gov still needed to fall back on the MPAA for help? Then the rubber stamp comment, "most of the reasoning behind seizing the blogs is left out" - welcome to a digital East Germany.

The [US] Army wants to issue every soldier an iPhone or Android cellphone — it could be a soldier's choice.
Vane said he wants to use the phones to collect biometrics on enemy combatants.
To track the bad guys, track the troops and what the troops might be writing about.
vs say sealed in a blob of glue thats hard/tricky to remove on a motherboard?
Intel wants to sell chips with many new features (pure speed is getting $$$ to offer), so this aspect of the chip/near the main chip makes Intel look creative.
How many levels deep is that going to go? Only 1 deep like Section 311 the USA Patriot Act could offer.
The bank that offers to support wikileaks ect. will be unable to connect to any US bank or bank doing any transactions with a bank connected in any way with the USA ect.
ie any bank that connects to a bank that supports... is cut off too.
So you can send all the support you like via that one bank.
Will the one bank last long in the real world after been cut off from most other banks?
XP would be fine for this as the University has paid for "MS XP" for all over a set time.
MS has learned from this "friendly" era and now likes the idea of a 24/7 on site computer system to count the "number of computers" using MS products and then count much more $ flowing back.
The bad rap on licensing is getting more real, the past was just playing 'nice' to get MS products on site.
A real fun study would be some pretty 'graph' of total cost of ownership/longterm rental/cleanup/admin teams for 3000 copies of Windows XP vs other more mature/secure OS options at that time, year after year...
Is really just part of the feds useful toolkit.
They can look for extra CC's, books, address books, rolodex, business card, photos get noted, hobbies, signs of other crimes..
When they walk out they may have a pw and a whole new area area of inquiries.
But think back to the foreseeable past, most of what was sold on the commercial/telco and NATO market has been weakened in someway. Tempest leaks or design flaws allowed dreamy Enigma like plaintext decrypting or plaintext entry to be collected. http://cryptome.org/jya/nsa-sun.htm hints at the past where many codes would become trivial.
Clean home, clean laptop, clean networking in one life, get another life and be creative for the bursts of chatter back home.
Mix it up and the feds will find it:) The telco network is theirs, end to end, know anything to do with anonymity/codes is a honeypot, if your working with/around the US federal gov, they have the funding to watch.
I wonder how strong the wireless handshake would be from the park bench as an employee has lunch looking for free 'wi fi'.
I really hope its got one top spec wireless setting.
If the employee can roll back the wireless networking to some old standard...
The problem with ChromeOS is it is trying to solve a problem them doesn't exist.
The problem that exists is your Mac, Windows or Linux box gives you the ability to 'change' to some clean state when you quit your browser.
Google wants to track you from power up to shutdown and Chrome is the first good attempt in that direction.
ChromeOS is like a browser that never gets its cookies cleaned and reverts to a cookie safe hardware state on booting.
A huge leap in tracking your habits.
Young people can be conditioned to be tracked 24/7 if they think its helping with science. More study is needed to see if the "science" aspect is needed or will they just accept tracking...
Open or closed, knowing one good (not really looked for over life of the product) error or more can be the key.
Injected by design or offered as part of a deal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_(software) was an FBI effort, so was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(software).
The NSA had zero legal limits from day one unlike the CIA, FBI, so they would be the logical subverters of any crypto.
Within the US you had the long CONINTELPRO issues and the FBI's contact with hackers and the turning of hackers into informants...
Tthe FBI takes the credit for been in your computer, capturing your network, why not in your networking code too? The NSA like the GCHQ can hide in the shadows.
The NSA and GCHQ usually likes to get in on any new crypto or networking early. From embassy encryption, banking, mobile phone encryption, home computer OS to open source it seems.
Sort of like a 24/7 tempest leak/weak encryption to plain text for the NSA and GCHQ to enjoy.
The historic hint is http://cryptome.org/jya/nsa-sun.htm
If they can get into the dev cycle via a patriot, blackmail, bribe, faith or a buy out they will.
The idea that open source/free code would be protected/missed/overlooked could point to the need for some long boring days and nights of older code review.
Re Massive passive? Awesome possum!
vs the personal touch of a gps tracker wired deep into your car, your voice print on file, your OS and keyboard accessed, your calls to family and friends getting near real time translation, your internet logs getting looked at by a human.
The massive part would be long term billing (name), ip and IM/email usage been logged over a few different networks, protocols and databases.
Read e-mail vs track/sort the ip/to/from headers?
Thats the very old trick that is used. A massive passive database of who is connected to who. One person gets a real court sneak and peek letter, anyone one connected gets their email lists sorted - who they are connecting to and so on.
So if they dont read they can collect all connecting details they want.
A bit like the NYPD collecting IMEI numbers via an offer to remove a cell phone battery to prevent leakage. NYPD tracking cell phone owners.
Its the number/ip/logs/connections thats interesting long term, the contents can wait.
The NSA and GCHQ started this. They then talked to Nordic, German and French telco names to keep encryption low/weak tempest shielding or provide a back door.
Now all the units are from Asia and they have learned/designed/offered the same style of devices.
As OzPeter said, Costas Tsalikidis, the Greek telco whistleblower was found hanged. Adamo Bove head of security at Telecom Italia who exposed the CIA renditions via cell phones ‘fell’ to his death.
Exposing the backdoors and longterm tracking can come at a price. Thats why many regimes around the world will want to build their own Linux based telco systems. They know whats built in when a low import price is quoted. Clandestine services the world over leak to the press/make statements - dont buy/roll out trust any new hardware until tested.
I hope now admin and telco people slowly wake up.
Lets say you start a leaking site. MI6, GCHQ, NSA, CIA, FBI, FSB,... all sit up and take notice.
Who are you, whats your background, skills, who is your protector, where are you getting quality info ect all takes time, are you under long term deep cover on our side?
Everyday your server is up and the press is interested is a win.
When the above finally work out your leaking for real and hunt you down, the weeks, months the site was online add up.
One site, ten sites, 100... vans rolling in suburbia, strange 'mishaps', deaths, tax issues, porn, sex traps, can all stop a few people, but long term text is easy to move and mirror.
The fix is in the backhaul of the embassy networks. Stop using unhappy young people to run your networks and you dont leak as much. The GCHQ learned that the hard way via their young, low end, under paid, home sick, smart communications staff been picked up by the Russians ect.
The Russians cleaned up their networks after the one time pad issues.
The US needs clean up its networks? But then what really leaked? A lot of time and geographically filtered low grade info that was mostly in the public/edu/press.
US exporters getting help to push their export grade crypto on the world?
total cost of leasing with a new active per core/seat/head count track is the key.
MS will roll in and demand a nice realtime usage count, no more big site deals, the cash flows out 24/7.
The front fee is low, the backend, long term cost is a real MS tax now:)

Yes take great care, large amounts of cash flowing out under one name can trigger a report of a suspicious money transfer.
