Ermrm, isn't non-centralization the entire purpose of the internet? I mean if everything winds up running through a central processing center that then defeats the entire purpose of having a non-centralized network designed to operate even when portions of it are inoperative. What would happen if that center got blown up by the terrorists they say they would be hoping to catch? Then the entire internet would become inactive, at least anything passing through the US. I like this as well

"You end up without technology that could be very useful to combat terrorism, information warfare or some other harmful act."

How? I'm sure terrorists know a thing or two about encryption. I doubt their sending their chemical weapon research reports using their hotmail account. Obviously just another move on the administration's part to fuck all Americans right up the ass. Today it's to catch viruses...suddenly a hidden bill gets passed to allow law enforcement to randomly monitor email traffic or the sites you're going to....next thing you know you could be under the microscope and have nothing you can say about it.
