A Brief Three Percent Catechism

These four principles -- moral strength, physical readiness, no first use of force and no targeting of innocents -- are the hallmarks of the Three Percent ideal. Anyone who cannot accept them as a self-imposed discipline in the fight to restore the Founders' Republic should find something else to do and cease calling themselves a "Three Percenter." [More]
Mike initiates novices into the fullness of Threeper life.

Also, he called me last night from the airport about this:
...I had another interesting occurrence with my computer this time...
Evidently someone with TSA-or-above "authority" loosened some screws or some such to remove a part of the cover--I don't have all the details but I note it's not the first time Mike has noticed peculiar third-party curiosities involving his laptop, and I think documenting that is important (which is why I briefly mentioned it last night on Armed American Radio, just so there would be more corroboration than Mike's after-the-fact say-so if something he does not control happens as a result.

What might happen?  I dunno, I really have no basis to speculate, or even conclude that wasn't part of a random routine instead of a targeted action. But spyware and/or malware come to mind, or, noting something someone tried to set up another liberty leader with, there is another insidious potentiality that enemies could try in an attempt to discredit and set up. Like I said, worries about directed tampering could prove to be much ado about nothing, and Mike did not ask me to do anything but be personally aware of his observation, but one thing I learned from Fast and Furious is that the best protection we outsiders have sometimes can be shining bright lights and banging pots and pans.

In the early 90's an attorney I was working for called to tell me NOT to open a PDF discovery file send on a CD by DOJ lawyers. Seems the CD had an executable Trojan installed.

Yeah, they've been doing this stuff for years.

I always suspect them of installing some kiddie porn images- after all, that's the one thing you are not publicly allowed to ever doubt the accusation of. It's an automatic guilty verdict no matter what, and if you express doubts, then you are also guilty.

Someone making a copy of the hard drive?

I wouldn't carry a laptop or other such device again if I was to fly. I have a 16 gig thumb drive containing everything I need to work with on the road, bootable in any computer, and 1 1/2X 1/2 inch in size. It is password protected, so could not casually be read by anyone else, if found. Put it on a luggage zipper tab and it looks like a zipper pull, nothing else. Ladies could wear it on a charm bracelet, or two as funky looking earrings if they were painted a bright color. Nail polish might be just perfect for that.
