    Why not conduct port scans from the IP of the White House, Capitol, CIA,
    DEA and other law enforcement agencies and see whom the FBI arrests?
    
    This is some serious shit, people!  Not reporting is not the way to go.
    This law has to be proven ineffective and harmful.  That means:
    
      a. computer crime must not go down, or they will think the law was
         effective
      b. computer crim must not go up, or they will make laws with even more
         severe punishment.
    
    Talk to your representatives about this!  Explain to them that this law
    makes it impossible to learn computer security from the ground up, which
    means that there will be no more qualified new computer security people
    in ten years, which means all the good security companies will not be in
    the USA, which means less jobs, less taxes and more poverty.
