http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20029 ... eStories.0 #2 is sublimely vague, isn't it? Seems like a very efficient way to silence people, and to prevent communications between those who would seek to rebel against such a tyrannical government.
More for the tin hat: The government has issued NOTAMs (notices to pilots) of DoD tests in the near future that will disrupt GPS service, including right here off the coast of Georgia. http://gcn.com/articles/2011/01/24/faa- ... sting.aspx
It has always been known that the .mil can degrade the GPS signal for civilians while keeping pinpoint accuracy for themselves. That's not a necessarily a bad thing in certain scenarios, like invasion of our soil. But, combine the GPS thingy with the Internet thingy, all under martial law, and you've got some bad times.

Please collect ur coffee mug and tshirt as you depart from the vehicle. WTF are they thinking?....
Actually, this type of language is what I would expect from the Obama administration. They think of themselves as dictators and do not want anyone being able to review or question their authority. They are simple tyrants. If this is allowed to pass, it would just be one more straw.
[/quote:1axz45yd] "Separation of Powers" anyone? I do not believe the Legislative Branch has the authoritah to tell the Judicial Branch what it may or may not do. I know for certain the Executive Branch certainly doesn't.
You can be sure that the Obama administration is taking notes on how the internet and social media are playing a role in Egypt's "situation." They cut off the internet and people reverted back to dial-up modems. Foreign European ISPs were giving out login user IDs and passwords for free so Egyptians could connect. Cell phone service was also shut down there, but people were using satellite phones or grabbing a signal from a neighboring country on the border. None of what their government did was terribly effective.
Taking notes, making plans, and checking the list twice. Yeah, I mean the free market will always survive, but I'm still certain the majority of people were still silenced. There will always be a select smart few that know how to beat the system and get by any type of "kill switch." Whether it be telecomm, internet, GPS, radio. There is always a simpler, less technical way to do things as well that have nothing or little to do with electronics.

How many straws are needed to break the camels back? If this goes into affect I'm quite curious how the citizens of the country will respond? I'm certain it'll probably fall on death ears and most of these sheep will make the following statement: If the government designed it, it must be good for us
