N7VQM,
Unfortunately, most people coming up (and passing) new laws don't know a fraction of what your average computer geek knows about computers. So they could just as easily claim you have something to hide just because you're using a firewall.
I wonder if the next thing they'll do is force people to be connected to the internet at all times, because if you turn off your computer, or disconnect from the internet, "you could be hiding something". :-P
