Are these lawyers really that stupid
The FBI doesn't want to disclose its key-logging methods. The lawyers are
up in arms. Who hasn't had a key-logger set off their anti-virus software?
Maybe that's why the feds want to keep it secret. Who wants to have to go
and build a new or better one that standard utilities from Norton and McAfee
won't pick up?

Can't we just bankrupt them like we did Russia
Waiting on an intelligence briefing, there is quite a cloud of dust being

On one side, is those who say it doesn't work, on the other, the defense
contractors. On yet another side are those that believe if we build something
that will "magically" knock out 100 missiles, China (our great adversary, who,
if I'm not mistaken the U.S. just signed a landmark trade agreement with, and
I can't think of any reason for a need to bomb them (other than population
control)) will build 101 missiles so one gets through. And if China builds them
India will (another target for population control) and therefore Pakistan (at
least maybe they will tax the Pakistani defense contractors) will as well.
Well, why don't we do it, hide our true capabilities, bankrupt China and India
(Pakistan is pretty much there anyway) and solve it that way (total time, 50 years). Meanwhile our defense contractors will be healthily employed.
