[sudo-discuss] FUD around Lockpicking class

[Anthony Di Franco]

Yes, just the kind of free press Goebbels would be proud of.
It's always good to see the local press misrepresent the significance of
something with scary innuendo to turf up a small-scale moral panic with a
little two-minutes-hate appended in the comments section to make sure
everyone knows the genuine, salt-o-the-earth grass-roots are up-in-arms
about this whole
people-teaching-each-other-practical-skills-without-prior-permission-from-the-appropriate-bureau
thing. That power-mad anarcha-Mayoress must be stopped before her
non-hierarchical subordinates rape our children and must be replaced with a
proper authoritarian before it's too late.
