This is what they're throwing out there to catch our attention... my question is, what are they hoping will fly under the radar while we're reacting to this crap?

From my experience, crap like this is almost continuously 'out there'

Yeah now, that's what I'm talking about. This Obama thing might just work out....

Now if someone would email his blackberry about this two year retention thing. Or at least point out that as written it would encompass all the white house computers.

You may have been kidding, but I feel the need to point out that all white house doings on computers are a part of official white house history and must be saved.

I was kidding but now that you bring it up, I do know that all "Communications" are supposed to be saved. I wonder if that covers web surfing or not?

On a totally random aside with no relation to earlier posts in this thread, I wonder how hard it would be to come up with a bit of "security software" for my router that would continuously assign random IP address to all the PC's NAT'ed behind the firewall.

Meanwhile, at the morning briefing . . .

Q. Yes, Scott, can you tell us which porn sites the President will be surfing today?

A. Helen, that's classified, but let's just say that the President can see Russia from his house.

I guess the Prez needs to stick to low-tech porn - like interns.
