torture bill summed up in C

[cellio]

From patrissimo, who got it from others:

It occurs to me now that the whole 94-page bill really amounts to a common, one-character programming error.

if (person = terrorist) {
   punish_severely();
   } else {
     exit(-1);
   }

Most excellent.. and I hate to admit how often that one character has caused me grief and woe in JavaScript.
