This case brings up the same larger issue as does privacy in all its forms: the question of whether and to what degree the protection of the Bill of Rights extends into the realm of electronic media. I strongly suggest it's time to start a grassroots campaign for a new constitutional amendment which extends all constitutional protections to include and encompass "any electronic or optical or other means of information storage, processing, and communication." With a relatively liberal, pro-technology administration in the White House, this stands a better chance of passing now than it did a few years ago. A constitutional amendment would put BBSs etc. on the same footing as the spoken word and the printed page. Without this, we're doomed to a future of petty tyrrany and censorship. -gg
