If the new architecture has backdoors, I'm sure we'll spend a lot of money to crack the backdoor, and then it to infiltrate Chinese systems.

Win!

Remember kids, if your group declares that it has no real leadership, and is a decentralized collective of individuals that spontaneously gather together, than the FBI has a real tough case to justify to their superiors. But, if they start compiling evidence that there ARE leaders, and those leaders can be held responsible for the crimes of the followers, then they can pursue a case. That's RICO. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act], and it's a big freakin deal.

Everyone calls Anonymous a bunch of childish pranksters, but creating an organization that requires the FBI to jump through hoops just to open a priority investigation hints at deeper intelligence.

It opens up all kinds of legal methods to track, surveil, and identify potential Anonymous members that wouldn't be possible for a 'nuisance' group, and remove most of the privacy obstacles around getting information.

The FBI is building up evidence against Anonymous and Lulzsec to get a National Security Letter. After that letter comes in, the FBI has all kinds of new powers to work with under the Patriot Act. They won't need a court order to subpoena ISP, internet, and bank records, and wiretaps can be done with fewer obstacles.

/Yadda Yadda.

Probably cross-border listening stations intercepting calls from US numbers, that just happen to be within the US at the time. Whoops.

The only complicated part of this is the 'find some jackass to give a legal justification'.

Multiple keys wouldn't have helped, since it appears the attackers identified all the seeds that were ordered by Lockheed from RSA. Whatever process they used to assign these seeds to unique individuals would have been robust enough to notice that the individual was using two.

It was endgame. Everyone should have trashed all their tokens weeks ago.

Look, the government really needs to get behind this effort. If a train track system was built that connects major cities with one another, AND if it's designed to be fast, accommodate lots of trains at nearly the same time, and is safe, companies will line up with products to use it.

I'm talking:
1. Siemens and GE producing trains and traincars designed for the tracks
2. Caterpillar and Mack produce the engines
3. ABF, DHL, Fedex, etc will all buy the trains and engines and use them to deliver goods
4. We'll use that for our internet orders, and to transport goods and services anywhere cheaply

It's not just about passenger trains, there's an entire market segment out there ripe to be innovated by trains. I'm talking about trucking companies, we could get them out of cities. We could reduce fuel costs, and insurance.

There are 2 plants under construction RIGHT NOW in South Carolina, with tentative dates in 2016 for operation.

Uh. No. We won't be dropping corporate taxes. The issue here is outsourcing; companies can find cheaper labor outside of the United State. Removing corporate taxes isn't going to reduce the cost of an employee to a company, it's going to make it more difficult for the government to obtain revenue. Think about it: if the company isn't paying taxes, and the company's employees are paying taxes in India, where does the US government get money?

Nope, it's not against the law. But it's equally not going to help the parents sleep at night.

Responsible gun owners don't forget to lock up their guns, especially around children. Illegal or not, this step-father got his step-kid killed because he was an irresponsible gun owner.
