Police Want Fast Track To Get At Your Private Data
An anonymous reader writes "According to this story on CNET, police again are pushing for new laws requiring ISPs and webmail providers to store users' private data for five years and also want a new electronic way of speeding up subpoenas and search warrants via police-only encrypted portals at all ISPs and webmail providers."
As long as the guy with the files is using Internet Explorer, they can have all the access they want.

Where is Kevin Mitnick when you need him?
Yo dawg we heard you like wire taps so we put a wire tap in your wire tap so we can hear while you hear.
A million internets to the first person to crack this system.
I agree. In the name of liberty, we should continue to limit the processing of these requests to post-it notes.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
Hey, they can look at my data. It will bore them to death.
They'll find my four trillion digits of pi boring until they realize that every trillionth digit is the start of a datetime stamp followed by geographic coordinates indicating when and where I'm going to kill next. How many people have to die before they realize that it's GMT with no adjustments for daylight savings!?

oooh, good idea. I vote for using SSD's to store the data, so we can access it quickly if the need ever arise.
It's The Golden Rule: "He who has the gold makes the rules."
That sounds like the kind of thing an enemy of Freedom(TM) would say. I think we need to fast-track the retrieval of headkase's personal information, so we can find something that could be construed as evidence of support for terrorism and put him away before he robs us of our lifesytle.
You see, it's the Freedom(TM) to agree with whoever is currently top dog - not freedom to make your own decisions. (Kind of like RMS GNU/Freedom, really.)
e! That's irrational!
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
I can't wait to meet the new boss, as long as we don't get fooled again.
Heil Palin.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- You can't get fooled again.

There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, "fool me once ... shame on ... shame on you... if-- fool me, but can't get fooled again."

for snail mail as well. You never know when you'll need that year old coupon.
Only when playing pinball.
Unless his split-personality counterpart is an old world evil mathematician, counting the digits of pi in long scale trillions, while the psychotic killer split-personality counterpart uses short scale trillions.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
