A Philadelphia-area school official confronted a student with photographic evidence that he was doing bad things at home. She got her evidence by activating the webcam on the laptop in his house, a lawsuit claims.
Lower Merion School District officials are spying on students and their families inside their homes with Web cameras installed in pupil laptops, claims Blake J. Robbins in a lawsuit against the district.
The lawsuit,  filed Feb. 11, alleges that webcams in personal laptops -- that are issued to every high school student --  can be, and have been, remotely activated by school administrators without a person in the same room as the laptop being the wiser.

Austin Plane Attack Likely Staged Terror

Plane Collides with Office Building in Austin Texas, Pilot's Intentions Magnified by Anti-government Blog Rant!

Initial reports are mixed, some say accidental others claim the attack was intentional.

AUSTIN, TX (myFOXaustin) - A small aircraft plane has crashed into a 7-story office building in North Austin near Mopac and 183. The plane crashed into the Echelon building around 10 a.m. Thursday morning. Police have blocked off access roads around the building.

According to Corp. Scott Perry with APD several federal offices were located inside the building that was struck by the plane. Officials with NTSB say that IRS offices were some of the federal offices.

CBS is reporting that there is "no indication that this was an act of terrorism or otherwise intentional." Oh really? Then how come CNBC is claiming on-air that the man involved set fire to his own house first? And then, Fox News states that the name of the pilot was.... Mr. Joe Stack.

And a highlight of Stack's last words.

I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me,
