A controversial bill handing President Obama power over privately owned computer systems during a "national cyberemergency," and prohibiting any review by the court system, will return this year.

More incentive for me to get into Ham Radio. Also, Don't throw away those dial-up modems. Egypt can access the internet if they can dial out to another country.

I have a 5-gallon bucket full of internal modems, I guess would increase in price, just need to find a list of unsecured proxy servers.
You might like books on radio mods too, since they convert electricity to 12 volt DC internally to power radios, and batteries are easy to find when/if power goes out. Get that license, no code needed.

On second thought

Nah, could never happen here

(Didn't some Universities/military bases/Luby's people eating lunch say that?)
