Next time they could be coming for you
Christopher Soghoian, a computer security grad student researcher posts about how you can print a fake NWA boarding pass for the purposes of showing how our airline security is really security theatre (Chuck Shumer, D-NY did essentially the same thing in April). Edward Markey calls for the arrest of the Soghoian.
Result: two FBI raids of Soghoian’s home, including a 2AM smash and grab.
We need to support Soghoian. For his freedom and ours. He has a legal defense fund, if you can I urge you to donate. If you can’t donate, call your congressperson and make sure they know about this case.
Our security should not be a thing of press releases and propaganda. Efforts to point out bvious flaws in the theatre of the absurd should not lead to jail time, but instead thanks and efforts to fix those flaws.
After all, it only takes the President classifying him as someone who supports terrorist activities for Soghoian to find himself being tortured and denied his rights of habeas corpus down in Gitmo.
