OK, I guess you all don't agree with me and I apologies for being rude. I find many of this groups discussions beneficial. You have to admit that we also receive some that are just taking up space in our inbox and sometimes un-researched hoaxes. I receive many good slap-stick security emails from co-works. I will be happy to start sharing them with the Crime Group. alan@private wrote: I wonder what they will take away from Americans when terrorists start shooting down planes from the outside. I expect that in the near future, Americans will not longer be allowed to have anything sharper than a rubber ball. (And the rubber ball will have to be larger than 1.5" in diameter or someone might choke to death on it.) Federal agents will be sent to homes to cut up your food and tuck you into bed at night. (In order to get the religious right's buy-off, they will also make you say your prayers.) Makes you wonder what lawmakers fear more. Terrorists or American citizens. -----Original Message----- From: Crispin Cowan [mailto:crispin@private] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 9:14 AM To: Ken Emmons Cc: 'alan@private'; Toby Kohlenberg; Kuo, Jimmy; 'Chris & Kathleen '; 'crime@private ' Subject: Re: NIPC Daily Report, 30 October 2001 Ken Emmons wrote: >Let's stop being ridicules and interrupting everyone's day with this type of >non-important junk email.

But in the absence of an official charter, it's pretty difficult to call any discussion that has the word "security" in it off-topic.
