911 finally gives the anti-privacy types an opportunity to pry into our internet lives.

I'm curious just what you think about this, Bill. I read it this morning and planned to post it to you later today.

I can't tell, given the brevity of the article, whether this particular step is a serious one or not. But I would think the libertarians would be worried. Certainly this poster's libertarian side is worried. It's a step in the wrong direction. If it were framed as making the internet a more virus free zone, who could object. But it's put in the context of the "war on terrorism" which is to say getting, eventually, down to the level of the ability to track all our internet ruminations. Goodbye this privacy, if that's where it goes.

So what say you?
