FBI Spying on students??

Well after reading this article:
FBI busted tracking student, demands gear return - Technology & science - Security - msnbc.com
I want to get some feed back from the comunity about what you think. This is concerning becouse it seems that recently they have been fallowing students, for some reason, and well...I am a student.

So what do you think?

Yay the FBI really knows how to track bad guys.

It's an unfortunate fact, and I hate to point it out, but look at the name of the student. After 9/11, pretty much anyone with a middle eastern sounding last name has shown up on a watch list of one kind or another.

It's racism at it's worst, and I'm afraid that there's no end in sight.

I would say racism at best.

I propose a solution:
Take the FBIs money and give people a free college education.

The FBI pretty much does whatever they want these days. Warrant or not.

Actually isn't illegal in some states including Arizona, according to that ninth circuit court ruling. They don't need a warrant or anything to put it on your car for any reason they want as long as it's outside your property in the open, not in a garage. Driveways are fair game. Beyond ridiculous, but true. Basically what this story is about.

All the 911 perpetrators were all the same race and religion, now that's racism.

*laughs* Outdated hardware, not even hidden but put out in plain sight? Not sure who put it there or why, but that deserves the FAIL stamp.

 

[ionbasa]

yea, the other strange part is that the FBI claims to have no involment, but they still want their "outdated toy" back.

 

[Benjamin Hall]

Yeah... that's just dumb.

 

[LiquidSnak]

I'm not going to delve very far into it, but depending on A.R.S., the student may be entitled to keep the gear under an abandoned property law, if they give the FBI x days to claim it.

 

[Benjamin Hall]

That is very possible.

I would do that

Actually, you could probably argue that since it was on your car, it is yours, because they CAN'T have been using it to spy on you, that would be illegal!
