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.
