“The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) is seeking ‘Standard Operating Procedure 303,’ also known as the ‘Internet kill switch’ from Homeland Security. The protocols govern shutting down wireless networks to prevent the remote detonation of bombs.  The broad government power to shut down communications networks worries civil libertarians. However, the agency argues the protocols must be kept secret to protect national interests and the safety of individuals.  Homeland Security originally said it could not find any records on the kill switch.  After EPIC appealed, the agency located the protocol, but redacted nearly all of the information.”
