I would not doubt something like this could happen. Our rights are being eroded moment by moment. If this were to happen, this would clearly be a violation of our Fourth Amendment rights.

I just read an article that for the first time since the government has been wiretapping everyone's calls a judge said a warrant was required for every wire tape. 3 judges prior sided with the government and rules no warrant required for a wiretap.

Now back to OpenBSD. Why OpenBSD? Why not Linux? Or maybe Linux has been compromised too? At least there is the hope that some wiz kid will determine if this is true.

I know this list runs the gamut when it comes to political beliefs. And I respect that. I think one thing we can agree on is we need to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

It's actually a great deal worse than you might think. I am sorry I am not at liberty to divulge the technical details but be advised that NSA and DHS "backdoor" access is available from IPSEC, JAVA, Microsoft Explorer and M$ Systems, and all of the various means for which a standard BACKTRACK user could gain access [i.e. everything] without consequences.

Be advised that EVERYTHING you type or do on your systems regardless of your OS, when logged into ANY browser, is completely available to any government staff.

There is no privacy or security; get over it!
