        Too bad most of them can't even configure email security right. Check out http://Whitehouse.gov  for example

        So pre-Act equipment/software is exempt? The Act doesn't try to backdate into existing/legacy kit (except new updates)???

        Well unless you update it can't get its way in. I don't know if they'll force an update on all. That would suck.

        One predicts a load of backdoor code-deleted ’Black Edition‘ software arriving on the torrents, hacked and shared.
