To me, there appear to be some strong parallels with the local apparent plans for the "transactional records keeping".<br><br><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/28/AR2010072806141.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/28/AR2010072806141.html</a><br>
<br>"The administration wants to add just four words -- "electronic
communication transactional records" -- to a list of items that the law
says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval. Government lawyers
say this category of information includes the addresses to which an
Internet user sends e-mail; the times and dates e-mail was sent and
received; and possibly a user's browser history. It does not include,
the lawyers hasten to point out, the "content" of e-mail or other
Internet communication."
