The most controversial provision of the New Warfare Act actual y requires L-PRACGs to leave security "trapdoors" in their members' OCHRE systems that are only accessible to the central government. The goal was to standardize weapons systems and prevent an escalating technology war. This provision drew (and continues to draw) public outcry and scorn, with libertarian activists cal ing it "legalized slavery to the Defense and Wel ness Council."
Few L-PRACGs to date actu al y comply with this law. Thus far, the Defense and Wel ness Council has not sought to enforce it-although this may be because the Council's weapons systems are stil effective enough to overcome most private programming defenses anyway.
