Massachusetts: MIT students deserve "no First Amendment protection"

It's actually a pretty interesting story (follow the link to read), but taken out of context, that headline just makes me laugh. It reads like a global statement about MIT students in general.

On the merits of the story, I think the state is flat out wrong. The three students absolutely have a right to disclose the vulnerabilities they found in the subway card system. The state's resources would be better used trying to close said vulnerabilities than trying to fight the First Amendment.
