This single panel comic shows ARTHUR, a yellow duck, sitting below a large tree reading a small book. FLACO, a green lizard, peaks up from behind a rock. They both look freaked out.

TITLE: This is the house that Jack built
TEXT:
This is the law
with the crumpled core
that let the NSA plain ignore
The Fourth Amendment (which limits the scope
of search and seizures - or so’s the hope),
and forced corporations to turn over files
like e-mails and friendlists and calls in big piles;
that got a green light from FISA the court
which works in secret to support
the clearance of searches of all sorts of stuff
and none of it small, and none of it fluff,
which, under the guise of “serve and protect,”
is a slippery slope when no one can check
the things now turned over, and sorted and stored,
in big data centers whose goal’s to record
the things that you search and you say while online
…with a normal, small laptop of standard design
which sits on a table you got at Ikea
(…and was THAT purchase tracked? you have no idea.)
That lay in the house
that Jack built.

ARTHUR: eep.
