We still have space for discussions about the specific flaws of Microsoft's BitLocker implementation on the front page when the much-more salient "wrench attack" ( https://xkcd.com/538/ ) is stronger very day.
This execution has more significant implications than the combined heft of the chipper clip, or of EARN IT, SOPA, or the myriad of other bad bills introduced to the US Congress over the years.
Tech libertarianism was a frontier for the means to the ends of our personal liberties, and not a goal in itself. I refuse to believe the people on this site don't see that it's all connected.
(edit: clarification; "this" refers to the execution, not the Bitlocker thing.)

You are exactly right. People on this site complaining how these topics are not tech related are absolute fools.
Well, or at least extreme incompetence across the board. Systematic failure from POTUS downwards.
It's a statistical game. Arm people, don't train them well enough, give them a mission. Given enough altercations, some will turn out like this.
Try these words: Broken arrow.
Question is, now that the most dangerous apparatus in the world has been coopted, what are people feeling like doing about it?
