To me, that article was an amazing technical achievement. The author went on for three pages about police seeking the right to jam cell phone signals, and not once did they mention the ramifications for the ability of the populace to hold the police to account for abuses. And they did so less than two weeks after damning cell phone video of the execution of a civilian by a police officer on the BART system. While I would admire the author's technical skill in skirting the issue (truly amazing), I now have even deeper reservations about the editorial policy and institutional bias of the Washington Post. While many of the participants at HN write very lucidly, I wouldn't guess that many of us have worked as writers. I have, and I could not have designed a piece of writing to better omit the issue of civilian surveillance of law enforcement officers given the subject matter they were handling.
