To #1, there's quite a bit of latitude so long as you aren't in uniform. You can, for example, participate in a rally on 'your time' so long as you do not endorse an ideology/candi…

> The government could as easily have said "just focus on .mil and .gov sites when you're using government computers for government work". This is a great point. They could have gi…

This is my concern, as well. Their command tells them what is and isn't lawful. In this case, command is making explicit what will be considered unlawful. And the unlawful act isn'…

It is not my intention to quibble with you. I respect that you see this differently than I do. I wanted to be explicit about this because I do disagree with the conclusions you dra…

I'll point out that any device connected to a military Information System is subject to monitor and interception for the expressed purpose of penetration testing, personnel miscond…

I agree. Ignorance is certainly exacerbating this matter. I was facing criminal charges for a python script that monitored a mail server that I owned. My security clearance was sus…

This is what the default posture for a domestic raid looks like because the men who trained these troopers were most likely veterans who specialized in urban operations over the la…

I received the three messages while I was reading the linked article! My messages came from "MobibroIQ". I did not respond. I logged in to AT&T and launched a chat with Technical S…

My apologies. A few others have filled in for me. I'll expand a bit hoping to make it up to you. CONUS is the contiguous/continental US. Generally used to mean "back home". Outside…

It is easy for me to misunderstand what you could mean by, "Here's hoping the next war will fulfill your expectations!" I've met a lot of people who would say something like that w…

I cannot speak to the CIA training but I've received some concealed weapon scenario training mostly developed from lessons learned at penitentiaries. It is a terrible thing to be i…
