Professor S' makes the argument about that it's not a big deal for search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN to turn over their search engine data over to the government. He makes mention that only the search terms are being turned over and no personal information is going either.
3 arguements for that.
- They just see it as *ANY* information going out to the government - Some people see any personal information being turned over to the government is bad. Remember, there are many people out there who don't turn in their census forms every 10 years.
- Snowball Effect - Also you can argue it that it might be a snowball effect. First they ask for the search terms, then the time it was done, then the destinations, then the IPS that it came from, etc.
- What if they already have the other data that they need to fill in the blanks? - Now that's a scary thought. All they would have to do is go to the ISPs, get the records of what's going thru their routers, and match them up.
