[liberationtech] "Cyber Weapon" Controls in NDAA 2014

[Griffin Boyce]

There are also undefined amounts of federal grants being awarded to bot
offense and defensive "cyber weapons."  It's pretty ludicrous.  There's
never going to be a plug-and-play auto-hacking tool that works with any
degree of reliability.

(Though to be fair, there are servers out there still susceptible to the
Kaminsky bug, so... maybe it's merely a waste of money rather than
pants-on-head idiocy).
