Subj : Internet 'kill switch'

  Just curious as to what y'all might think about the internet kill switch that
has allegedly come into being under Obama.  Ever since I knew that it was a
possibility, I've tried to make sure that my own system is set up to be able to
handle as much of a communications blackout as possible, with FTN relays and
the like set up, and POTS capability, along with AX.25, so that I can provide
message traffic in and out of a blacked out area, hopefully.  I'm always
working on making my system a storehouse for useful survival and tactics
information so that it's useful to anybody who might find it under such
circumstances.  At the very least, it'll be a great database for me if the grid
collapses.  *grin*
  Any opinions on such?  I was going to write a little bit about the NSA and
wiretapping, too, but I remember the first information came into being about
the 'splice room' at MIT, where the NSA spliced out a feed of everything
running through that backbone to themselves, but that came about in the '90s,
and I'm pretty sure anybody interested enough in these concepts to have joined
SurvivalNet already knows about that kind of stuff.
  Best wishes, y'all!
