Accordingly, the FBI did not seize the computers from Kinko s, Eagan, Minnesota.
Moral: Always make erasing unneeded data a regular practice, if you want to keep your computers. --digsig James A. Donald 6YeGpsZR+nOTh/cGwvITnSR3TdzclVpR0+pr3YYQdkG u8fODkiRQptIbG0Gx/8TsyWhAaSyUi6bqxXcPoch 2gQB3HYsyrY6lY1CcTlNf5xm+nfdUNkDNFH91bpFH

Absolutely. Furthermore, encourage your customers to encrypt their data: Some European ISPs, fed up with the costs of complying with interception warrants and subpoenas, have begun to offer discounts to customers that exclusively utilize encrypting protocols. The logic being that it is cheaper to notify law enforcement that the ISP is unable to tap the information due to the link being encrypted than it is to tap a link. --Lucky Green
