perhaps a change in vendors is in order? I can't see why people would lie about this, or why they'd listen to the 'request' from DHS in the first place ;( Oh well.
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,57804,00.html Mike Fisher, Pennsylvania's attorney general, has sent letters to an unknown number of ISPs over the past few months demanding that the ISPs block Pennsylvania subscribers' access to at least 423 websites or face a $5,000 fine, according to news reports. [..] How the blocks will affect law enforcement across North America would depend on which ISP their departments are using, among other factors. But Morris pointed out that WorldCom was ordered by a judge to comply with the Pennsylvania law last September. WorldCom owns UUNet, and the U.S. government is one of UUNet's biggest customers.
