fistf - I'm not sure what the insult to the the 4th Amendment is if I read the article correctly. It appears to me that the 96 law already requires data preservation for 90 days, and the proposed law would shift that to a permanent record which, theoretically, would be available upon presentation of a warrant. ISP's don't normally share their information without a warrant as it stands, and they've been storing 90 days worth of information for 10 years now. As I read it, the ISP isn't required to hand over all permanent records, but they do have to have it available.
