I'm surprised they don't have text and audio for ADA compliance.

Maybe the W3C can seize the page for non-compliance.

I was really hoping there was a banner{1-6}.jpg

those are probably for child porn, drugs etc.

for a site the don't want anyone to see? ;)

But perhaps you're right and the FBI can be sued for non-compliance.

If they really didn't want anyone to see it, they would likely have just replaced it with a blank page.

The banner image that's there is meant to send a warning. It would have taken considerably less effort for them to put a blank message, or serve a 404 page than what I'm sure involved a committee of at least 4 people and 2 ranking executives to craft, create, get approval for, and implement the banner image that is currently in place.

Yes, because if Richard Stallman was wget'ing his daily webpages, he would have a lot of trouble interpreting that site without going into xwindows.

Your indifference to the Blind is touching. But at least you got your off-topic troll in.
