the mall's security: he let slip that the Secret Service ordered them to harass 2600's lawful peaceful public meeting. That was definitely news. The mall security manager then denied what he said about Secret Service ordering the harassment: luckily the reporter recorded his conversation. CPSR [Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility] and Marc Rotenberg of EPIC [Electronic Privacy Information Center] began FOIA [U.S. Freedom of Information Act] proceedings to find out about this incident. The case raises significant issues of freedom of speech and assembly, privacy and government accountability. In response to an FOIA asking why this happened, the Secret Service responded: "We are sure no one knows why we had the meeting disrupted". They have made a mockery of FOIA. This mockery of FOIA is still being litigated by EPIC. An intentional illegal government surveillance program...it just never stops. Marc Rotenberg has gotten the Secret Service to admit in court that this was done to "investigate hacking into a company's telephone switch." Since when did the "investigative" techniques used by the Secret Service become valid for use in the United States? Going up to a bunch of mall patrons and DEMANDING IDENTIFICATION from them and searching them? How exactly was this supposed to further investigate a switch hacking?
