Watch out Mor.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

I see no issue with tinkering on your own equipment. It's when you start tinkering with everyone else's equipment and making money off it that I a problem with it.

Seems more like a problem with the IRS than it does Homeland Security though.

He must've been modding A LOT of systems for the feds to come down on him. He wasn't just doing this for personal use. This guy was making it a business.

He also can't be that smart. 27 years old and still in college?
