Jim,

RE: ..does the (PSR) or whatever you called it make it easier for big brother to track you on a PC?

No.

As you and others have pointed out the PSN is worthless, breakable and forge-able. Therefore, forge it and fool the spys trying to follow you. Kind of like hackers use many hops over the net to elude reverse look up/or tracing.

What the article said was (big brother) can enter your office and put a bug in your machine. Sort of like wire tapping your phone, PSN will not help nor hurt, they have a wire in you machine.

The article addressed the ability of law enforcement to trample your rights to privacy by physically entering your office/home to bug your electronic business.

You know they can go to your ISP and do the same today.
