In my paranoid heart, I cannot stop the whispering voices that the
wealthy and powerful are annoyed by how much power "techies" really
have.
Would the government and ATT be in court now for their illegal
wiretapping without a techie whistleblower. Would an H1B visa holder
have blown the whistle? Probably not, he is a foreigner and he knows
it. The powers-that-be can control the H1B visa holder for he has
not grown up and been educated about the rights of the individual as
laid out by our Constitution.
There is at least the possibility that this is about more than
money. Dr. Farber and his peers probably have many stories about how
the DARPA-net would never have morphed into the Internet without
freedom-loving "techies" battling ferociously in the backrooms and
boardrooms to make it happen.
Solidarity,
