So should it be legal to place hacking pages or ads on the net in order to hack your computer for spying purposes? Even though they obtained a secret warrant the FBI did not statr in their warrant that they would be hacking a computer.

    From the article...
    In an interview, Soghoian called the incident “outrageous” and said the practice could result in “significant collateral damage to the public trust” if law enforcement begins co-opting the media for its purposes.

    IF law enforcement BEGINS co-opting the media?
    What dream world is this naive person living in?
    The media has been "co-opted" (translation, lying for the purposes of government and corporatocracy) for years.

    It sounds like there was an actual news story. Why did they have to provide bogus news content? Was it to encourage people to spread the story thinking it was a Seattle newspaper story? Were they also trying to send out misinformation under the supposed authority of a warrant?
