Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. 26966@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 03 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15579 So, Is the president and his administration going to charged with this law if it does come into affect? Since they didn't hoax the congress into the Iraq war.... 15579@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 11 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15483 The bill is a bit silly, but it could open up discussion to a more progressive bill that could give a bit more power to prosecutors for genuine hoaxes. At the same time though, the same bill should at least have a provision to allow the government to be held responsible when it irresponsibly jumps to conclusions like Boston did.... 15483@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 09 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15498 This is another example of legislation that does nothing to clarify anything. The elected reprehensibles can wave the bill around saying how they have stepped forward to protect the community.... 15498@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 09 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15415 Boston police apparently also thought that a traffic monitoring device was a bomb. Does this bill count that as a Terrorist Hoax? http://wbztv.com/local/local_story_059122735.html... 15415@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 08 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15335 Just because Boston has incompetent responders whom are incapable of telling a neon or led sign apart from a bomb. Does not mean we need to make an advertiser a criminal. How about training the responders to look at the object and see what it is. Leave the dogs and military stuff behind, get out and observe, ask the kids in the neighborhood, they are likely more knowledgeable anyway.... 15335@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 07 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html#15317 The legal definition of a 'hoax' should be revised in order for this bill to be accepted by the public. When we think of a hoax--we think of a bad joke. What about persons who are incorrectly suspected of being affiliated with terrorism? They are abjectly subject to this law without any kind of immunity. What a clever bill... a bill justifying the act of hoaxing a hoax.... 15317@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 06 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_735.html 5/4/2007: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.
