] The antiboycott laws were adopted to encourage, and in
] specified cases, require U.S. firms to refuse to
] participate in foreign boycotts that the United States

] U.S. firms from being used to implement foreign policies
] of other nations which run counter to U.S. policy.

For those who didn't believe me at Interz0ne that such a department existed, here is your proof. If the US government decides that they don't want US citizens/businesses to participate in a boycott, they've already got a department set up to fine the heck out of you for going against the government's wishes. Right now the department is primarily focused on making sure nobody boycotts Israel.

Iraq? Israel.

"So what's Iraq about? In the end, it's not about that nasty man or the nasty things he's collecting. It's about what the policy wonks call "destabilization." It's about taking the next step into a regional and a global chaos that could wreck this planet."

This is a cool paper. Various devices, including modems, routers, disk drives and printers leak the data they are transmitting through their LEDs. This is much easier then "Tempest." The hardware required to recover this information costs like $10.
