I get you. In principle it is WRONG. Obviously. I also don't agree with the terrorist detainees without trials. Just the fact they can arbitrarily take anyone. Hopefully Trump will consider revising the Patriot act when it comes back up.
Like I said at the end - its bittersweet. I am not in fear of getting in trouble because I don't do anything wrong. But then again I don't want wiretaps in my office and or home either. Ask a woman if its ok to look through their purse when they are not looking. See if that is acceptable behavior. On a side note looks like the Mikrotik exploits are mainly based on the webfig side so far. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Englhardt" <s...@genias.net> To: "af" <af@afmug.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 7, 2017 10:30:51 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Wikileaks #Vault7 CIA Backdoor leaks > I knew about windows since like 98 because I knew a Microsoft employee who > told me about what they could do.

For 95% of the world this is not the case. And even in US you might run into problems communicating with the wrong people or sharing a bus with them. Remember there are/were some people in Guantanamo which never seen a judge. Some are free after years without a hearing. I guess they have another view. Look at this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murat_Kurnaz He met some filter criteria and had no chance. I have nothing to hide but I have no good feeling seeing what possibilities are in the hands of people I dont know and I am not sure about their motivation. May be arresting someone helps their career. So they lower the filter and grab someone who is just at the wrong time and place as Kurnaz. > > > > I'm torn about this because this pisses me off.. but then again they need to > be > able to spy on other countries to protect us.
