New FBI rules

According to a front page article in the June 13th issue of the New York Times, the FBI plans to issue a new edition of its manual known as the Domestic Investigations and Operations guide.  The new guide will give agents more powers in their search for criminal or terrorist activity.  
Among the proposed changes, most of which would have been applauded by J. Edgar Hoover, is one which “clarifies the definition of who qualifies for extra protection as a legitimate member of the news media in the Internet era:  prominent bloggers would count, but not people who have low-profile blogs.”
Uh oh.  I’m fairly certain Sajeonogi qualifies as a “low-profile blog.” 
There are times I long for a liberal administration.
