Where you said, and I quote: "I also just spoke with Steve Frischling, who had also been served with a subpoena in connection with the security directive. He says he received a phone call from a deputy chief counsel for enforcement at the DHS to let him know he was off the hook and that the agency had offered to buy him a new computer. His previous computer had been damaged after Frischling consented to a search of his computer and hard drive." This may be a bad thing for Mr. Frischling, because unless he is actually given the money to replace his computer, or he is told to send the bill to DHS, he could end up with a computer with tracking software put in by DHS, maybe? It just hit me. Where you said, and I quote:

Drennan doesn't look very official. Where's an official subpeana cancellation in legaleeze and latin phrases. You may have received some correspondence from a "well-meaning" employee "who exceeded his level of authority". You may find out the hard way about your failure to appear when some ugly badge carrier handcuffs you long after you thought this was over. Maybe not you, in the public eye, though, but possibly Joe-Blow blogger on TSA colors of terrorist, I mean, extremist alerts. Your confirmation from John A. Drennan doesn’t look very official.

So why they heavy handedness? Glad this subpoena was dropped and more important things can be focused on. This was not a classified document. So why they heavy handedness?

I'm not sure I'd ever trust that a laptop they gave me as a replacement wasn't bugged! (After that, they wouldn't have to wake up a judge to find out what they wanted to know!)
