Sadly, the passage and enforcement of the Patriot Act in the U.S. makes any wallet sized document moot. You can flash it to anyone who happens by your detention cell.

Refreshing indeed but it won't last. A bit of wisdom and truth from one newspaper against all the might of most of rest of the tabloid media. No contest.

You're a bit late that link's been posted here before. So it's old news.

I'm more worried by the subversives who post on APUG

Whenever I want to see a picture of something I just Google it. Don't the bad guys have internet access?
