That there's no formally-defined internet kill switch in this bill actually worsens the problem --- if you're the kind of person to see it as a "problem" that the same guy who can have a major metro area in the middle east bombed in your name can also cause a packet to be filtered.<p>That's because The President <i>already</i> has the authority to shut off the Internet, and, uh, pretty much everything else. Sec 706 (47 USC 606) (d). Comms Act of 1934. Suck it, Internet!<p>A more carefully proscribed national security power for the President --- one that acknowledged the Internet and the limits of the President's power over it, rather than simply "all wire communication" and "all electromagnetic communications" --- would actually help Internet-liberatarians.<p>For my own part, I'm glad the President has this power; I predict he'll need it within the next 4-6 years.
