Asaris, thanks for that post. I was going to put in a link and then saw you did.
Just for the record: the poster Asaris quoted above is Orin Kerr, a professor at George Washington U Law School, specializing in criminal law and procedure, and computer crime. He's the guy whose posts I look to when I have questions about criminal law current events, because he really does know what he is talking about and is intellectually honest to a fault. If you want a link to the particular post, so that you can see some of the comments as well,
click here. Kerr is almost universally well-respected.
