Illegal in the USA

The military is forbidden by the Posse Comitatus Act from taking action against US citizens within US territory.

But if you're outside the USA... watch out.

Ahh..

I'm glad I didn't join the AF. Sure, there's a bunch of smart people there, but sometimes a few get a little power hungry.

You won't see the Navy pulling this sh*t.

EDIT: Although we did create the Tor Project. Hmm.. »www.onion-router.net/

Agree with...

I agree with the walled garden part, send the customer a letter IN the mail and have it pop up and say something about you having a "bad virus" and try to see what it is so the customer can act.

I know alot of people just don't know they have a virus, trust me, they don't want it as much as we don't want it spreading it's "goodness".

I know this can be done cause you can use opendns.com and see some viruses.

I half agree

These machines need to be updated.

At this day in age, there needs to be a mandatory update feature. Crime will be reduced and there will be a less potential thread of malicious usage of bandwidth.

...

One wonders how Charlie hopes to determine whether one has installed "anti-virus software" and "the latest security patches?"

I think what Charlie really wants is the offensive ability, regardless. Presumably military control of all internet access.

No thanks!
