WBAI OFF THE AIR
Shortly after 5:00pm ET today, WBAI 99.5 FM in New York abruptly went off the air after losing power to the studios at 120 Wall Street. The radio station was still broadcasting for much of the day following the extraordinary events in New York and Washington, DC. Those who are in the studio are reportedly unharmed although the smoke and dust in the area remains thick. WBAI's transmitter, located at the top of the Empire State Building, was unaffected by the events earlier in the day. |

THOUGHTS FROM NEAR THE ABYSS
Our connectivity has come back for now. Considering what the city has been going through, it's a miracle it's been up at all. The power continues to come from a generator operating near Ground Zero. We don't know when things will be back to normal technically. Things won't be back to normal in other ways for a very very long time.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR HACKERS COULD BE IMMINENT
According to an article published at the SecurityFocus site, one of the provisions of the Justice Department's new Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) would categorize violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act as "federal terrorism offenses." This means that offenders could be sentenced to life in prison without parole. In addition, the Act could be enforced retroactively, meaning that computer crimes from many years ago could be successfully prosecuted today. Those convicted of providing advice or assistance could also be prosecuted in the same manner.
