The public comment period on a Justice Department proposal to make the Internet easier to wiretap ended Monday with most of the filed comments tracing a clean line between two opposing camps: on the government's side, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies who perform wiretaps, allied with companies who sell surveillance equipment and services; on the other, Internet companies who would be forced by the plan to make changes to their networks, along with advocacy groups concerned about slowed innovation and an incursion on Internet privacy.

I'm impressed to be in the presence of an expert. Please tell us then, how are they detected? ESP? Members of the group miraculously decided to come clean and confess to the police? Please.

History? You mean fantasy conspiracy theories.
