Here we go with the government run by the party of "small government" trying to expand their powers even more:
FBI Director Robert Mueller on Tuesday called on Internet service providers to record their customers' online activities, a move that anticipates a fierce debate over privacy and law enforcement in Washington next year. "Terrorists coordinate their plans cloaked in the anonymity of the Internet, as do violent sexual predators prowling chat rooms," Mueller said in a speech at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Boston.
ISP snooping time line In events that were first reported by CNET News.com, Bush administration officials have said Internet providers must keep track of what Americans are doing online.
"All too often, we find that before we can catch these offenders, Internet service providers have unwittingly deleted the very records that would help us identify these offenders and protect future victims," Mueller said. "We must find a balance between the legitimate need for privacy and law enforcement's clear need for access."
Yeah because that information would be so secured once it is stored. Hell has the FBI even fixed their major security loop holes? I doubt it and personal information being stolen from government computers is on a drastic rise and already at an all time high. Hey Mueller - fix your own problems first.
