Hrmm... Al-Quaida is the one selling FUD all over America ?
I can't decide if it is actually Al Quaida,
the current Political Regime, or simply newspaper reporters
"making the news" with a common modus aperandi. (FUD)
Remember, "Great stories don't happen,
reporters -make- great stories!"

The only thing bothering me is it -all- still reeks of
yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theatre.....
...and then passing corresponding legislation.
To Paraphrase the -OLD- KGB:
"Quick Comrade, we will protect you, sign here....
What ? You want to be Safe, Comrade, don't you ?"

I repeat my earlier post:
"FUD is an inappropriate way to manage a Nation."

They didn't have to ask to sign anything - you had to, to get a
better job, education, etc. Not that those signatures meant anything, as
they could just issue an invitation which you couldn't refuse.

I am still floored by the fact the doors in soviet-era buildings open into
the apartments so they can be kicked in ... even more shocking is that i
think i learned that on nanog!
Yes, I remember all too well, Vadim...
We called that "McCarthyism", here in America...
(Strange, I just had an attack of DejaVu, I wonder why ? 
However, I have to rev limit my political posts, Vadim...
This is NANOG, and politics -are- off charter, as I was recently
reminded.... (Article 6 of the Charter)
....apparently , even if it involves the internet.
So, alas, I must restrain myself, and drop political elements
to "back channel" chatter.....
However, thank you for your reminder.....
