Seen on Slashdot:

“Indian journalist Amit Varma reports that Mumbai’s police are requiring the city’s 500 Internet cafes to install keystroke loggers, which will capture every keystroke by users and turn that information over to the government — nearly in realtime by the sound of it. Buy things online, and the underpaid Indian police will have your credit card number. ‘Will these end up getting sold in a black market somewhere? Not unlikely.’”

Think that the Makhzen would try something like this? Hm….

I don’t look at my blog stats very often, unless it’s to laugh at keywords, but I suspect that people Google my (somewhat unusual) name and find me here. I’m thinking about making a page with brief letters to all the people that might look me up - plus one to the nimrods at the State Dept. in Dulles, VA that check this site obsessively.

Letter to State Dept.

1. I’m too ideologically lazy to be a terrorist.
2. My husband would also make a very poor terrorist - no head for details, and takes frequent naps.
3. If I did hear something, I probably wouldn’t tell you. You follow the “guilt by association” doctrine.

And that’s all I have to say. (I told you they’d be brief!)
