This is just a case of Slashdot and similar sites reporting something
with a misleading, sensationalist headline and their version of the
truth spreading. Read into it more and you'll realize it has little to
do with computer repair and more with computer forensics and other
investigative work. It certainly may have an impact on security
professionals who work in the state, but I don't think it's as
overreaching as the Internet makes it out to be.
