I was on Bruce Shnieder's blog and read something that really disturbed
me.  The Department of Homeland Security going after people
pirating copies of Star Wars Episode III.  I'm sure that Mr. Lucas
is happy about this, but what about the sleeper agents ready to
detonate a dirty bomb in the middle of Time Square.

When I first heard that there would be a department of HomeLand
Security I was pretty excited about it.  I even wanted to work for
them.  Hearing stories like this have changed my mind. 

It seems phenomenally stupid that they would be tasked to hunt down pirates.  But when you think about it the DHS actually consumed over 10 other massive agencies
that still have duties to preform.  Perhaps during the initial
design of the DHS more focus should have been put on agressively
hunting down terrorists and keeping out people entering the country
illegally.  It threat level Yellow, Elevated which is a
“Signifigant Risk of Terroist Attack” copyright infringement should be
the least of our conscerns.
