True, but there is a difference in this case, since I could probably find a way to do discovery of the warrant/subpoena that was delivered to the ISP--assuming it's not an NSL. I would assume that going into court with evidence of the warrant/subpoena would be sufficient to grant standing. Or the notice of intercepted communications that I've seen a few times would work too. In $DAYJOB, we're all colo/cloud, so the stuff we get specifies a specific date. Have not come across any that specify a few seconds of time as another poster noted. In any case IANAL, so who knows until the cases start showing up on the dockets..... --Chris
