Yes, in this time of the "Busch"wackers, it is all too easy for the gov'ment
to rob us of our freedom.  And unfortunately there are far too many
corporate types ready to take advantage of that in the name of the almighty
buck. Wired is cool though.  They went on to say " He did not say, though,
how legislators would determine the difference between malicious information
and that used for legitimate security research, or whether such a law might
compromise freedom of speech."

  "Security firm Symantec has rubbed subscribers to the Full-Disclosure
mailing list the wrong way by due to a quote attributed to its chief
operating officer, John Schwarz.

  In a Wired story titled " Just Say No to Viruses and Worms", Schwarz was
quoted as calling for laws to make it a criminal offence to share
information and tools online which could be used by malicious hackers and
virus writers. "
