Canada To Mandate ISP Deep Packet Inspection

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-not-cool-eh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government has proposed new legislation that would require ISPs to install deep-packet inspection capabilities. The proposal includes a laundry list of surveillance requirements, police review of ISP employees and technologies, and the mandated disclosure of a broad range of subscriber information without any court oversight."

    Which is why I won't be flying via the US anymore. If I really need to fly, I'll take a quick train ride up to BC and fly from there. I'm sure I'll be flagged as suspicious, but at least that way I won't be groped by some perv TSA agent.

    And yes, anybody that forces you to show you themselves naked or allow you to grope them is a pervert, medical doctors excepted. The TSA agents don't have to do it, they could very easily refuse on the basis of it being illegal and/or sue the TSA for sexual harassment.
