Homeland Security: Life In Prison for Hackers?
"A last-minute addition to a proposal for a Department of Homeland Security could punish malicious computer hackers with life in prison. "
"During closed-door negotiations before the debate on the Homeland Security Bill began, "the House Republican leadership inserted the 16-page Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) into the Homeland Security bill. CSEA expands the ability of police to conduct Internet or telephone eavesdropping without first obtaining a court order, and offers Internet providers more latitude to disclose information to police."
Here is the text of the CSEA, H.R.3482, as passed by the House.
