arstechnica.com — What do you do when the FBI raids your home and finds porn all over your PC? One man, who had his home computer seized by the bureau, has decided that his best course of action is to sue the companies that failed to keep that data private for him.

you would think a guy who could assemble a bomb would have a little more knowledge on how clearing the history in IE doesn't totally delete it from your computer

It's pathetic that our legal system even allows such stupid wastes of time.

NO kidding. By the time he gets out of prison for ricin and explosives, nobody is even going to remember that he had porn on his computer... as if anyone that has a computer doesn't have some porn on it...

@MagnusI thought I read/heard somewhere that at AT&T the FBI has set up a type of room that routes all Internet traffic to them. There they grab un-encrypted information under the disguise of tapping terrorists yet really they are doing a huge vaccuum of the system. There they flag information and figure you out. I may be wrong but I thought that the US had almost all of the super computers in the world that make the backbone of the Internet. If this holds true than wouldn't all internet traffic fall under our jurisdication since all countries are using our supercomputers/internet? Not trying to be a jackass just that's what I thought (read here on digg).

I hope that my work doesn't review my IE browsing habits. If they saw I spent all my time on <a class="user" href="http://www.racing-games.us/">http://www.racing-games.us/</a> I think I might be in some trouble.

Well, then by that definition, nations could charge exorbitant rates for "unfettered travel privileges" for international shipping through their countries. They could take whatever they liked from things in transit since it was theirs while traveling through their country.Some countries made a lot of money that way several hundred years ago. When shipping lanes routed around them, understandably - their fortunes took a turn for the worse, since revenue fell. These nations became poverty stricken and insular for a very long time. And then the really big problems arose.
