March 05 PC Computing magazine has an article about a bill going through Congress that would make it illegal to use the internet while drunk, or to discuss sexual matters over a public network while intoxicated. The bill is numbered SB040105, and the author of the article at PC Computing magazine was listed as Lirpa Sloof. The article said that the FBI was going to use the bill to tap the phone line of anyone who "uses or abuses alcohol" while accessing the internet. Passage of the bill was felt to be certain because "Who in Congress wants to come out and support drunkenness and computer sex?" The article offered this explanation for the origin of the bill: "The moniker 'Information Highway' itself seems to be responsible for SB 040105... I know how silly this sounds, but Congress apparently thinks being drunk and or sexual behaviour on a highway is bad no matter what kind of highway it is."
