Happy Halloween
Not scary in the sense of zombies and vampires, but equally scary in the future of our little nation. More and more craptastic government stuff are happening everyday. So to start, the wang drops some of the fun stories about recent invasions in the privacy and freedom of speech.
So all u gentle readers in the interweb must of heard of the story about how Christopher Soghoian, did a little web page that can generate a fake boarding pass for airlines to show a loop hole in the security system, that has been documented by the airline companies for yrs.. But that landed him a visit from the friendly FBIs and Representatives asking for him to be arrested. Now Boingboing readers come back with some fun stuff like, self scribbled boarding pass, which by the Patriot act, can warrant some FBI visits. To the even funnier, fake search warrant generator.

Another story of cool BB reader response is to the recent news that Boyscouts can now get a “copyright badge" for listing to some RIAA/MPAA brainwashing classes on copyright issues. BB readers respond with the Free Culture Badge, which requires more work, like:
Raise money with a bakesale to go across the country to CMG Worldwide in Indianapolis or Intellectual Properties Management (IPM) in Atlanta to convince these organizations to free images associated with Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King and release them into the public domain for use in school projects, such as web pages

Someone finally called all the slutty Halloween costume wearing ladies on, the Ho’lloween trend. Something from a more creditable news agency.
