Homeland Security At Work

PeoplePC - News

This is an article about how Homeland Security agents visited a toy store because they had a generic rubic's cube (on which, supposedly, the copyright has expired), and made the owner take it off the shelves. Now, maybe it's just me, but DOESN'T THE HOMELAND SECURITY DEPARTMENT HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO? I dunno, maybe it's just that someone selling generic rubic's cubes doesn't sound like that much of a threat to national security to me... probably because it doesn't involve, I dunno... BOMBS... This story just shows how much the government's power is abused... particularly since this wasn't addressed to the manufacturer or y'know... through the PATENT OFFICE. Yikes... this is just stupid....
