I don't think so.........but
Ever hear of Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure? Neither has practically anyone else, including Members of Congress. Unless Congress says "wait" before Dec. 1, it will grant federal law enforcement authorities sweeping new powers to remotely hack into computers or computer systems - maybe yours or your library's -- to neutralize a cybersecurity threat that they think those computers are helping to distribute.
Congress has until just December 1 to pass a bill delaying that effective date of the new Rule so it can at least hold a hearing on the intended and unintended consequences of this potentially disruptive, privacy-invasive new Rule. That bill is the "Review the Rule Act" (S.3475; H.R.6341), which would delay the implementation of changes to Rule 41 until July 1, 2017.

While i want the "bad ones" to be stopped, I'm not in favor of random hacking into personal computers.
(--or random wire tapping for that matter.)

Interesting.

All of these kneejerk legislative actions taken in the wake of 9/11 are blatantly unconstitutional.
The government should be able to hack into your computer or invade any of your other constitutionally protected effects ONLY if you are suspected of a crime AND they have a warrant with your name on it signed by a judge.

I am sick and tired of both major parties in this nation continually wiping their ass with the constitution.

The government is free to hack into my computer as long as I get to use the excuse that I didn't know anything was there.
