Kevin Mitnick, who spent five years in prison for hacking corporate 
computers, is now fighting a bid by the Federal Communications Commission to 
strip him of the ham radio license he's held since his teens. Mitnick, 38, is 
already barred from using computers and cell phones. The FCC order scheduling 
a hearing lists no specific Mitnick act involving the relatively low-tech ham 
medium but only "his propensity to engage in criminal activities, 
particularly those involving fraud." 	--Dirk SmillieSimply Shocking
