WA State Bill Proposes Criminalizing Help to NSA, Turning Off Resources (offnow.org)

Nice. This is one example of a real way to restrict what NSA is doing - take away their sources, their facilities (data centers, etc), criminalize people helping them, and they'll be left with very few places to hide. It's also going to be very hard to collect billions of communications and store it all without proper resources and large enough buildings where to store that data.

I hope more states start doing this, if Congress doesn't want to do anything serious about it (and I have absolutely zero expectations from the White House, as I already know his proposed reforms tomorrow are going to be a joke).
