No, I suspect he is working for a company that wants state, or local 
government contracts for monitoring pedophiles. Pedophile access to the 
Internet is often limited as a part of their probation or parole. The 
software Mr. Marooney proposes would enable such people to use the 
Internet more extensively. Unfortunately, even I can think of some easy 
ways to bypass such a system.
