Just to tack on to what David said about the prosecution of computer criminals.
DOD began to prosecute these types of cases years ago. The Air force last year
spent several million on a new computer crime lab. They have taken delivery o
f some pretty damn good equipment, and are able to supeona any thing they want.
If they can get search warrants, and supeona ISP records, they have to be able
to back it up with aapropriate law, otherwise the judge wouldn't give them the p
ower to search and gather information. I don't know what rule or law they come
under, but I know they wouldn't be able to go forward without it being backed up
by law.
