Then again, since it's illegal in light of Posse in the first place... *shrug* who knows. It's all the uncertainties you mention that are a big part of why this is so worrying- all these things are being done without oversight or even really knowledge of the public.

I will be posting anything I see on this, and dark_christianand dominionist are good places to watch as well.
