[free-sklyarov] Is it illegal to create or possess locksmith tools?

[Roger Kramer]

Mustering all my restraint...

Dmitry created a tool. Every piece of software is a tool. Tools always have 
multiple uses. It must not be illegal to create tools! Dmitry's *company* may 
or may not be engaged in business with illegal commercial intent--that's a 
separate issue, but Dmitry is merely a tool maker.

I hope in the future you'll at least attempt to familiarize yourself with 
some of the technical details of an issue before forming an opinion. 
Otherwise, thanks to citizens such as yourself, more of those who build the 
infrastructure you're happy to use, probably in blissful ignorance, may fall 
victim to the technological illiterati you elect and the corporate interests 
that buy them out.
