    I mean, cute idea, but if the Fed really honestly wanted to check you out and stay private, they could quite happily go through a private provider -- same as the RIAA doesn't spam P2P from riaa.org addresses.

    Who watches the watchers?

    Besides, if they really even cared to monitor you, they wouldn't hit your website from their own addresses.

    What a useless piece of garbage. If we're just wanting to get the conspiracy theorists all riled up, why dont we get the program sending hit information to a central repository where we can see how the fed's move around and spider us? That's much better information than just knowing when the last secretary in podunk's county clerk's office pulled up some inane flash game.
