Convicted cyberkleptomaniac and h4x0r-d00d poster boy Kevin Mitnick is
likely to lose his amateur radio license. He has held the license for some 25 years, and it has come up for routine renewal, with the FCC bureaucracy making noises about pulling it because of Mitnick's unredeemably corrupt character. Mitnick has not been accused of actually committing any crimes involving amateur radio, but licenses, it seems, double as a badge of good citizenship. However, the FCC declined to pull his license when it came up for renewal two years earlier.
