Journal Fux the Penguin's Journal: Perhaps I was a bit to subtle... 1
My Post attached to Encyrpted Cellphone Hits Market:
Wow, $4,000 per pair? That seems awfully high, but I'd imagine there are many legitimate uses of such technology, that may interest people to shell out that much cash. For instance, credit card authorization, police communication, and drug trafficking come to mind. I work for the second-largest supplier of solid-gold cell phones and pagers, which are often used by celebrities and collectively engaged urban businessmen, and I could certainly see where many of our clients would have use for this kind of device.
I am a little concerned, though, that this kind of technology might fall into the wrong hands. For instance, have the manufacturers considered the applications for which terrorists might use these? I hardly think that the NAH6 would like to see their products used to slaughter innocent Americans, or even Amsterdaminians. Encryption is certainly a worthwhile tool, but I think it's far more likely to be exploited by the wicked than the virtuous, as it's the bad guys who've got something to hind.
Perhaps I would be more supportive of NAH6 if they were to provide a backdoor for the NSA, FBI, CBS and the ALF. These organizations, then, could catch evil-doers in the act before they can inflict massive damage to our American way of life. Truly, the only way to secure our liberty is government supervision of the most invasive sort.

Didn't really fool or piss off anybody, and only got "Funny" mods. Admittedly it was not my best work, but I was trying to be significantly LESS obvious this time than I have been in previous attempts. Now, I have been posting an AWFUL LOT lately, so perhaps the mods have started to recognize the name? If that's the case, it may be time to switch personas again. It just isn't as much fun unless some crazy ass clown writes a two page long rant pointing out every insignificant thing wrong with my post, in excruciating detail. Oh well.
