Out of curiousity what kind of web pages does a terrorist visit that would be used as evidence against them? Is there some terrorist.com website that all terrorist check in on, sort of a equivalent to Slashdot. Or maybe guns&rockets.com for all your anonymous weapons needs? This all just seems really stupid. I could see email being useful but sites visited sounds like way to much information on something that doesn't really matter anyways. Seems like it's bound to get abused somehow. jeff > Now I do agree with Cameron....
