I suspect they will split the functionality of the bill into sub-pieces and and pass each one under a different name or as part of a totally unrelated project.
That absolutely works to float things under media scrutiny, especially in cases like this where the media is all but complicit in the passage of the law.
I think they are going to find it much harder to sneak things past "the Internet", though.
They will eventually work out how to do it, given enough time, but I do not think "business as usual" will actually cut it. We have the many eyes that make bugs shallow.
What, like the 20-year old telnetd vulnerability was "shallow"? Do not underestimate the opponent. Embedding nasties in seemingly-innocent bits of legislation is what politicians are good at. This was the "brute force" attempt.
That's exactly what I was thinking of as what they will do given "more time". But I still expect them to try a much more traditional "business as usual" first at least a couple of times, before they realize that's going to be necessary. That's way harder than what they do now, which they are used to working very well.
