Topic #1 House Approves Spyware Law
Tue May 24, 1:20 AM ET
U.S. House votes to outlaw computer spyware By Andy Sullivan Tue May 24, 1:20 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday voted to establish new penalties for
purveyors of Internet "spyware" that disables users' computers and secretly monitors their activities.
By overwhelming majorities, the House passed two bills that stiffen jail sentences and establish
multimillion-dollar fines for those who use secret surveillance programs to steal credit-card
numbers, sell software or commit other crimes. Spyware has emerged as a major headache for computer
users over the last several years. It can sap computing power, crash machines and bury users under a
blizzard of unwanted ads. Scam artists use spyware to capture passwords, account numbers and other sensitive data.
Spyware can end up on users' computers through a virus or when they download games or other free programs off the
Internet.
"Consumers have a right to know and have a right to decide who has access to their highly personal
information that spyware can collect," said California Republican Rep. Mary Bono (news, bio, voting record),
who sponsored one of the bills. The bills prohibit a number of practices often associated with spyware, such
as reprograming the start page on a user's Web browser, logging keystrokes to capture passwords and other
sensitive data, or launching pop-up ads that can't be closed without shutting down the computer. The practice
known as "phishing" -- in which scam artists pose as banks or other businesses in an attempt to trick consumers
into divulging account information -- would also be outlawed.
The House voted 395 to 1 to impose jail sentences of up to 2 years. Violators could face fines up to $3
million per incident. Those who use spyware to commit other crimes, such as identity theft, could have an
additional 5 years tacked on to their sentences. Both bills passed the House last year but the Senate adjourned
before taking action. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate this year. Most spyware practices are
already illegal under deceptive-business laws but federal and state law enforcers have only sued two spyware purveyors
so far, one expert said. "We know that there are literally hundreds of these cases out there. Unless there's a push for
enforcement, passing a new law is really only going to help after the fact," said Ari Schwartz, associate director at the
Center for Democracy and Technology, a consumer-advocacy group.
The bill gives the Justice Department an additional $10 million per year through 2009 to
fight spyware.

Topic #5 Andy, Barney, & Goober
& Company Discover Homeland Security
This link; This Link review the
ongoing adventures of the Mayberry Madcaps-Andy, Barney, Goober, and company as they discover "Homeland Security"
in the 2001-2009. We will reviews Deputy Fife's adventures chasing foreign based terrorist who are well documented to operate in North Carolina Collges and Universities
going way back to the 1980's and is an excellent source guide for methodology and background information.
"Holy Wars on Homefront" by Harvey Kushner an expert on terrorism and sometime government
consultant review the extensive resume of an Islamic terrorist organization which has lived
peacefully since the 1980's in Greensboro North Carolina. Leaders of this organization successfully plot 911; engage in combat operations in Israel, ... and peacfully coexist in an area
dominated by the conservative Christian Church for almost 25 years.
Their base of operations at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is less than 3 miles from the office of the
Congressman Howard Coble Chairman of the House Committee on Terrorism is quite a mystery. While US
Goverment Officials do occassionally investigate and prosecute members of this organization such as
Khalid Mohammed; Sam al-Arin; Mazen al Najjar these folks are as heavily embedded in the State
University System; charities; and are government.
Topic #6 Wanna Spy On the US
Enroll In Student Loan Program
Shame on you for asking your intelligence personnel to cross the US Border with Mexico and swim across that
nasty river to enter the US for intelligence work. Didn't you know that 1 Million foreign students
attend US colleges and Universities each year? Lacking any motiviation to educate it's own
needy population in colleges the United States apparently imported over 1,000,000 foreign nationals
to attend colleges and Universities at an Estimated Costs of $200-300 Billion a year.
