Ask Maher Arar if he's real concerned about the infosec realm being the
next arena of McCarthyism.

I'm just as critical of the DMCA and failures of the intellectual
property concept as the next guy, but I don't think we'll be hearing
about fourteen year-old VB scripters being called before the House
Un-American Activities Committee any time soon.

If you're worried about the erosion of freedom and democracy there's no 
need for hypothetical articles from 20X6.
