A federal judge in Virginia recently ruled that any computer connected to the internet should be considered public, and that the user can have no expectation of privacy even if they go through the trouble of hiding their location and anonymizing their traffic.  The reason?  Because any computer is hackable.  http://www.eweek.com/security/.....ate-court-rules.html

Seriously?

That's like saying Home Invasion isn't a problem because no house is impenetrable.  Well, in this case it was a warrant-less FBI search of the defendants computer, so I guess a closer analogy is permitting warrant-less police raids.
