“Last week President Obama quietly signed Executive Order 13618, which provides the Department of Homeland Security with emergency powers over civilian telecommunications, including private telephone, cellular, and wireless networks. Critics of Obama’s extension of these emergency powers over private communications networks are referred to the 1934 Communications Act, which authorizes the president to ’cause the closing of any facility or station for wire communication’ and gives him ‘control of any such facility or station’ if a state of war — or the threat of one — exists.”
