FBI Rickrolling

Bruce Schneier pointed me to a scary development: the FBI can now get a warrant and confiscate your computer equipment indefinitely because you clicked on a link (or someone sent you an email with an illegal embedded image, or embedded an illegal image on a website you innocently visited, or your web browser pre-fetched the image, or someone uses your open wireless connection to access the image, etc.) all with court approval.

As one commenter on Schneier’s blog pointed out, the FBI has basically stooped to entrapment through Rickrolling.

    Well, of course, you can always plead entrapment. Not that that really fixes the problem in any meaningful way.
