Feds want an expanded ability to hack criminal suspects' computers

http://j.mp/1l8TPDF  (Ars Technica)

   "If passed as currently drafted, federal authorities would gain an
    expanded ability to conduct "remote access" under a warrant against a
    target computer whose location is unknown or outside of a given
    judicial district. It would also apply in cases where that computer is
    part of a larger network of computers spread across multiple judicial
    districts. In the United States, federal warrants are issued by judges
    who serve one of the 94 federal judicial districts and are typically
    only valid for that particular jurisdiction."
