"Butler was arrested for writing malicious software that installed a back-door program on computers "

I hope that's for releasing/using the software rather than the simple act of writing it.

From TFA: Authorities allege that during this time, Butler began to illegally hack into computer networks operated by the Air Force, NASA and the federal Defense and Energy departments. He didn't steal any information, but again left open a door so he could re-enter later, authorities said.

Anyone else think that an 18 month term for hacking into federal computers seems a little lenient?

"The number one need of any human is to be liked by other humans"

Admit it.

It could be argued that antisocial behavior ignores this statement, since actions aimed against other humans are less likely to lead to acceptance. In some cases, an antisocial act might lead to acceptance, such as performing a drive by to join a game. But in other cases, such as a loner, there is no apparent desire for social acceptance.

The new rules are hilarious however:

- Not allowed to have any items or anything on your lap for the last 1 hour of flight - Not allowed to go to toilet during that time either - Crew doesn't tell about cities or landmarks so passengers don't know where they are flying (it's so hard to time that on clock)

What is that going to improve?

It improved the success of the terrorist. He may have failed to blow up the plane, but he still took our liberties away.
