It reminds me of the IBM commercial when the two dectectives look at each other and ask the question "Whats a server?". The State Attorneys General around the country have been completely flustered because the keep getting complaints of "hacker" activity, but they can't catch or prosecute them. Either the hacker is outside of their jurisdiction, untracable, or just some twelve year old script kiddie. Here was an oppourtunity to identify a "real live hacker" and make a great show of prosecuting someone for a change. So you bet they would jump at the chance, they would set all common sense aside in their zealous attempt to prosecute.
