Does anyone realize the cost involved? Think of all the spam that needs to be recorded for posterity. ISPs don't currently record the type of information that this is talking about. What customer data backup is being performed by ISPs is by and large done by disk mirroring and is not kept permanently. I did a bit of back of the envelope calculation and the cost in the U.S. approaches half a billion dollars a year in additional backup costs a year without any CALEA type impact to make it easy for law enforcment to do data mining. The estimate could easily be low by a factor of 5-10. AOL of course would be hit by 40 percent of this though, not to mention a nice tax on MSN. Call it ten cents a day per customer in fee increases to record all that spam for review by big brother. I feel safer already. Whats next, censorship?

Good quote on biometric ID
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 20 Jun '02

I was reading a late-70's paper on computer security recently when I saw that it contains a nice quote about the futility of trying to use biometrics to prevent Sept.11-type attacks, I thought I'd share it with people: When a highway patrolman is sent to his duty, he has to be given the authority to cite traffic violators. This cannot be done explicitly for each violator because at the time that the patrolman is sent to his duty, the traffic violator does not exist, and the identity of the future violators is not known, so that it is impossible to construct individual access rights for the violators at that time. The point is that the patrolman's authority has to do with the behaviour of motorists, not their identity. - Naftaly Minsky, "An Operation-Control Scheme for Authorisation in Computer Systems", International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences, Vol.2, No.2, June 1978, p.157.
