Apparently Kevin Mitnick will be getting his ham license back. According to the FCC database, however, his reactivation hasn't happened yet. The Washington Post carried the AP story this morning, which somewhat merged the concepts of "computer hacker" and "ham radio enthusiast". Mitnick's attorney was none other than the infamous (and very strange) Lauren Colby, who has written a book about how smoking is not harmful to your health. Lauren is also the attorney for Herb Schoenbaum. Chris
