You can see that I am back to using Firefox here.
In the news, paranoia has become law, it seems. At least it seems so in Massachusetts.
An MIT student was arrested for for wearing a circuit board and other computer parts when trying to board an airplane.
Granted, it was not the smartest thing in the world.
But was illegal?
M.I.T. students are famous for wearing computers. Not just computer parts, but whole computers. Some of them powered by generators in their shoes which power batteries as they walk. They have screens built into the glasses that they wear everyday. They have entire study groups which are in constant contact as they move about campus.
And this is not new! It's been going on for several years. What I have just described was the M.I.T. of several years ago. Pre- 9/11. I have no idea how far it has advanced since then.
But the point is that wearing computer boards and other high-tech gadgets is normal for many of these students.
M.I.T. stands for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Apparently, Boston, Massachusetts, considers it a terrorist cell. The young lady was arrested as she entered the airport to catch her flight. She had to post a $700 bond in order to return to campus.
As I said above, I'll grant the bad judgment.
But has paranoia become the law?
