Whether that bill lives or dies isn't really what's important. What's important is the MENTALITY of these politicians as demonstrated by their bill, as well as the mentality of the people who vote for them. Government is a menace, as are the people who vote for it to continue.
The technical solution for their proposal is very simple. I'm a perpetual traveler (currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand!) and I have already been operating under the assumption that confiscation/security breach by government operatives on re-entry to the former U.S of A. is highly likely.
They can ALREADY search phones and laptops btw. So the only point in this legislation is to allow them to "legally" steal any cryptocurrency they find on them..that's what they're really up to. Our job is to be smart about dealing with these thieves, until their Empire explodes into chaos. At which time they will be too busy to bother with us lol. We must come to understand that we are under no obligation to support them, obey their laws, or pay their taxes. They no longer represent us, as they are too busy representing themselves.
To the author: Sorry to Steemit users, but I highly recommend that you do not describe the opsec you intend to use in the real world. General concepts are fine, but your opsec should be your opsec. You could also end up endangering other people. Government types are not very creative, there's no reason to help them find the weak spots in their systems.
Duly noted. You make a valid argument there.
Thanks for posting. Following. :)
Cheers!
