        Oh they are open!

        This was discussed at some length on USEnet and there's
been some postings from Ramsey. Seems the government perceived
their hobby -type "spy bugs" as serious espionage gear, aiding and
abetting a criminal enterprise, thus necessitating swooping out of
the sky and clobbering a small businessman where it hurts.

        I dont know what rock these clowns crawl out from
under, but I wish they'd find something useful to do. Perhaps
real criminals are too dangerous to pursue?
