Excellent idea!

While he's at it though, if he's going to be at all thorough in this, 
he had better make sure these new laws outright ban the use of FTP, 
SMB, HTTP, SMTP, NNTP, ICMP and all other network protocols that are 
currently used to exfiltrate an awful lot more "sensitive or classified 
documents" from federal computers...

I think before advancing these plans too far Henry Waxman should sit 
down and get a lesson about how the Int-duh-net works from, ooooh, say 
Sen. Ted Stevens [need I say more than "tubes"??].  This won't actually 
_help_ Waxman, but at least while he and Stevens are chatting, he'll 
only be wasting his own time and effort...


Excellent point. :-)

And I was wondering when someone was going to mention Ted
Stevens. :-)
