That reminds me of the guy that was seen using a commandline window on his laptop and got immediately suspected of breaking into the network. ("normal people only use GUIs")



And the guy (maybe the same guy?) who actually had a warrant served to search his dorm room and seize his computers, based in part on the fact that he had been seen using a command line.

The warrant was later quashed, don't know how or if the case concluded.

The comments on Schneier's blog are interesting. I was surprised at the number of people saying that the warrant was reasonable.

Heh. I just used a terminal on my laptop while trying to figure out why the airplane I was just on didn't want to let me have internet access. Guess it's a good thing I look normal....?
