DO you actually expect the DoJ to have red lights flashing on this one? 
Ashcroft is probably drooling right now. DId the DoJ stop the 
consolidations of Boeing, Lockmart, HP-Compaq? They haven't seen a merger 
that they didn't like why should a little government sponsored monopoly to 
further their interests be a problem.

Of course, the TCPA has nothing to do with security or
privacy, since those are OS-level things. All it can really
do is ensure you're running a particular OS.

It's amazing the TCPA isn't raising all kinds of red flags
at the justice department already - it's the most flagrant
attempt to stifle competition I've ever seen.
