Out of curiosity- all I see in the news & on the boards is backlash against the government when these sorts of programs come up. Can anyone provide thoughtful suggestions on how the fundamental adaptation the feds are seeking- improved ability to conduct digital espionage- could be implemented in a positive way? I do think the notion that traditional rules for search & seizure need to be updated for the modern age might hold some water. For example, destruction of evidence has become easier, and catching someone "in the act" is probably harder. I don't believe in the idea that the feds should have zero access & zero surveillance ability. Unfortunately I am unsure how to give the ability to match (in spirit, not in letter) the functions they have in the real world without incurring a big privacy hazard.
