TOTAL GRIDLOCK
BY: Emma Reporter (Me!)
The streets are crazy! Traffic is completely insane, as it has been in the past few days. However, unlike anything we've ever seen before, this jam is only getting worse and worse! It's a total gridlock out on the streets, and it isn't the cause of some measly accident. No, this is far worse--it's the police!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently hired 75% more cops, and right now, they're all out on the streets! Anyone who has a funky travel history recently is being pulled over and questioned.
Officials believe that this has something to do with the notorious Xnet and its leader, M1k3y. They call it "jamming," and it's an effective way of scrambling the records of random people. It makes everyone look abnormal!
We are asking ourselves why these ignorant little brats would do such a thing to our system. What have they got against simple questions? It could catch the terrorists responsible for the bombing of the Bay Bridge. Why not let the police be, and let them ask their questions?
So far, we haven't come up with any suitable answers to this puzzling problem. The DHS has made it clear that they won't let up the searches and questioning. They are the type of people who will throw their resources at a problem until it goes away. It may be wasteful right now, but in the long run, we'll all be glad that it was done!
Here are some pictures of this gridlock:
Gridlock! What a mess!I made this article because it directly related to what Cory Doctorow was describing in the novel. Marcus started jamming up people's tracked cards to make everyone look abnormal.

This is where I got inspiration for the idea, but I modified it to completely match the gridlock in the book. It's important because it's one of the main ways Marcus fought the DHS, which is what the book is all about.
