Drunks have a big mouth. Who knows how much crime information could be gathered by the FBI at the bar. - use funeral parlor owners. No one has an idea how much astate taxes are not paid because funeral parlosr do not notify anyone the FBI when someone wealthy dies. - use psichiatrists. These gather a lot of information about crime activities of the demented that could be useful for the FBI. - how about corporations and bosses spying on the employees? This is a real gold mine for data mining. - how about employees spying on their bosses? This will really blow away the corupt bosses. - how about the many government and private systems. Just imagine. etc. Oh, I forgot. The entertaiment cartels are not interested in the crime data that can be collected in all these places. Just the ISPs.

Tell me any ISP that is even capable of logging whole traffic. What is the scope of such logging if they do? Certainly not the content of packet data thats for damn sure. This guy is one uneducated idiot that knows fuckall about how the internet works. So what are they gonna log? Gigs upon gigs of traffic a day per user? Give me a break. There ain't anything in network monitoring that can help the FBI, apart from who had what IP at what time perhaps. Certainly not any contents of data flowing through your connection. Logging what websites people visit is also costly, HTTP data needs to be analyzed on a massive scale. First they have to sniff what domain you look up at nameserver, and then what page you request through said HTTP header. Both 2 seperate sources of data are required to even do this. Unless they run everyone through a transparent squid and log that way, which would just ruin the performance of web browsing entirely so that would be stupid. Okay, so what if terrorists coordinate their plans via the internet, sure they are cloaked, but not through anonymity, they're cloaked with encryption, such as SSL, meaning no network monitoring can discover who these "terrorists" are anyways. SSL capable IRC server with SSL capable clients, with that, a whole damn ring of terrorists can be sitting in a chatroom on this terrorist network and it would be 100% unsniffable. Remember how the IFPI reacted when British ISP's were required to retain customer data? They were so delighted. Terrorists my ass. Online activities? Yes, lets just see how they are gonna log every aspect of what one does with their connection. May as well outlaw encryption while were at it since any packet logging suddenly becomes useless with it. Its a laugh that such an IDIOT has such a title at the FBI. Discard? What a load of bullshit.
