Addware Counter Terrorism - Homeland Security (Score 1)

Couldn't spyware, addware, etc be considered a terrorist attack on American citizens? Imagine the potential threats of a spyware group monitoring military personnel or employees of three letter organizations... It is common knowledge in the security community that you do not necessarily need to know details of communications traffic to determine intelligence. Changes in behavior are enough to inform those who want to know that something is going on.

I propose that the United States government target these individuals (makers and users of spyware and addware) as a threat to national security. They should be targeted and destroyed with extreme prejudice.
