Lebenslang für *Computer-Verbrechen*?-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Lebenslang für *Computer-Verbrechen*? Das US-Justizministerium drängt auf schnelle Zustimmung zu seinem geplanten *Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA)*, einem 25-seitigen Gesetztesantrag, welcher den Behörden die Legitimation zur allumfassenden Schnüffelei geben soll.
