[TriLUG] If you're using Linux it seems best to stay out of Massachusettes

[Neil L. Little]

There was something else on Slash Dot the other day talking about those 
using Proxies, VPNs, and SSH tunnels to hide their Identity or location 
being considered illegal and would mean that to do so would cause extra 
jail time.

We are talking about the things we do every day just communicate in a 
secure manner.

Ok, It appears the EFF resolved it.
