Turn on mine and all they'll see is the back of an American flag postage stamp over the lens.

Another "OMG THEY CAN WATCH ANYTHING" article. Not against you Hush.

"The FBI, frustrated in its attempts to track him down, used special software that would install itself in Mo’s computer when he opened his e-mail."

Put the right software in any computer and control can be lost. They can't just flip a switch and have unfettered access to your PC. Firstly, they have to get to your in home network, and anyone leaving their home network unsecured deserves any intrusions that they get.

rant off.

Well, to get creative, I put one of those 1" bright orange bullseye sight-in targets over the lens of my old dilapidated notebook.
When it gets ready to die, I m going to take it down to the range, turn it on for the LAST time,put the bullseye in the middle of the screen, say "Hello to Big Brother, wave goodbye and hang it up on a target backstop and send it down range.

Then, I hope to have at least several SMGs primed for mag dumps including the blackout, powder springs,, MP 40 and my favorite for a drum dump. Of course, the 275 stingers ala the 180 should complete the shred and render the hard drive irretrievable. :shock:
If I can get some savvy tech support to host the doomed notebook camera for the incoming rounds, i will post for a laugh and mostly Good Riddance to any gubmint sponsored peeping tom lurkers on the other end. :mrgreen:
So, FBI/NSA FCKU and anybody else......INCOMING!
Good Riddance! :lol:

Maybe the FBI likes watching thousands of pimp-faced teens jerking off to porn.
