Joe Lieberman’s Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will hold a hearing today at 3:15pm EST to discuss “Closing the Gaps In Air Cargo Security” with TSA Director John Pistole. Lieberman got a head start on the issue, of course.

In addition to Lieberman, the bill’s sponsors include Senators Tom Carper (D-DE) and Susan Collins (R-ME). But it was Collins’ defense of the bill that should send shivers up the spines of anyone who cares about the Internet.

Sunday on CNN Sen. Joe Lieberman tried to explain that what he had in mind in the way of an Internet kill switch was not a total “All Your Base Are Belong to Us” move, but rather a partial Internet shut down. And why?
