Congress may consider mandatory ISP snooping

Congress may consider mandatory ISP snooping | CNET News.com: "'The FCC would be able to tell Internet service providers to monitor our e-mails, monitor our Web surfing, monitor what we post on blogs or chat rooms, and everything else under the sun,' said Harper, a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee. 'We're seeing a kind of hysteria reminiscent of the McMartin case. The result will be privacy that goes away and doesn't come back when the foolishness is exposed.'"
