I've pretty much ruined

any chance I ever had of getting a gov't job that might require a security clearance, I think. Appealing as the idea of an analyst or sysadmin career at the Secret Service once I get my master's might be (it'd make for great Thanksgiving conversation, if nothing else!), there are some things more important than a nebulous possibility of a career in government work, and contacting the Attorney General as part of the ACLU's most recent campaign to get people to wake the hell up is one of them.

This was mostly text provided by the ACLU, but I went through and made a few changes to reflect my own feelings, then had them fax it to Mr. Ashcroft. )

I think I'm allowed to get my morning cereal and shower now.
