Apparently, some police in Boston believe that simply using a shell is sufficient probable cause for illicit behavior.
EFF linky.
This is one of those articles that completely halt my being. I'm reminded of the Fight Club quote regarding "we protect you while you sleep."

humanity level to me. Argh.

This sounds fake. Not that it's actually a hoax, but it sounds like something I'd see in some bad Kafka short story.

Our teacher in my CISSP (The longest week of my life) class said something to the effect that a judge had ruled it illegal to ping someone/thing in Texa$... I can't find a link though, so I'm going to call BS...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
