 US: Mitnick darf nicht mehr funken+-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
 
 Hackverbot hat er ohehin, jetzt soll Kevin Mitnick auch nicht mehr
 funken dürfen, weil seine Amateurlizenz nicht mehr erneuert wird.
 
 Die Story vom Funknetz der Taliban hat es immerhin bis zu einem
 Artikel in ZDnet France gebracht und ging auch über Declans Liste.

 In a five-page order released Friday, the US Federal
 Communications Commission (FCC) claims that 38-year old
 convicted hacker Kevin Mitnick is not morally fit to be a ham radio
 operator.
 
 "Mr. Mitnick's criminal background raises a substantial and
 material question of fact as to whether he possesses the requisite
 character qualifications to be and remain a commission licensee,"
 the FCC said. "Given his propensity to engage in criminal activities,
 particularly those involving fraud, we have serious reservations
 about Mr. Mitnick's ability to comply with our rules and regulations
 in the future."
 
 What's more, the FCC reminds us, "Mr. Mitnick's prolific and
 damaging hacking career made him the most wanted computer
 criminal in United States history."
 
 Mitnick was convicted of hacking-related felonies and was released
 from prison in January of 2001. He's still on probation until January
 2003.
 
 Mitnick's had a ham radio license for about 25 years, and he
 applied two years ago for what's normally a routine renewal. He's
 not accused of making any illicit radio transmissions or any
 offenses that fall under the FCC's jurisdiction -- it's just that official
 Washington firmly believes computer hacking must be an
 unforgivable venal sin.
 
 Under FCC regulations, Mitnick's loss of his license is probable,
 but not automatic. A hearing will be scheduled at some to-be-
 determined date before an FCC administrative law judge (who, no
 surprise, typically sides with the bureaucrats). Appeals go to the
 full commission and from there to the federal courts.
 
 "It's just another example of them trying to harass me," Mitnick
 said Friday evening. "Now I've got to spend money to keep a ham
 license. How ridiculous."
