  •  True, but (none / 0)

    doesn't there have to be someone for the computer to give its information to?  It's an interesting situation.

    Here's a thought: how about tomorrow, everyone writes emails with the words "bomb" "Osama" "Abu Ghraib" and "Crawford Ranch" in them.

    •  My point is (none / 0)

      the person would get a list from the computer.  If it looked for "bomb" it would produce a list of emails with that word.  Or "bomb" + "new york city" + some Arabic language, giving a smaller list.

      Later on they could search for "bush sucks" and go hound the writer of that email.  Etc. and do whatever they want.  In fact if it's on file, and someone in the administration wants to see so-and-so's email, they could do that, too.  It might not be legal, but it might be easy.
