Still Outdoing Bush

The White House has asked Congress to make it possible for the FBI to demand that Internet service providers turn over customers' records in cases involving terrorism or other intelligence issues without first obtaining a court order.

[...]

According to the Post, critics of the change say it would "greatly expand the amount and type of personal data the government can obtain without a court order" and represents "another example of an administration retreating from campaign pledges to enhance civil liberties in relation to national security."

[...]

The proposed amendment would add the phrase "electronic communication transactional records" [...] to include the recipients of emails and when they were sent and received.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
