Your messages are not secure (unless you are using
encription systems). I have scripts that can sit and packet sniff; the
gov't is allowed to packet sniff anything. And it's not just the content
that you have to worry about, sadly. Most of my research shows what can
be learned about people through headers. Eek.
As for IM, all of that goes through a central server; some of those
servers store data. AOL/Yahoo/MS are known for giving data to the gov't.
You make your call.
Also, remember that in the last few months, they have been arresting
people for putting up "drug propoganda" websites (folks that say the
(dis)advantages of doing drugs... stuff similar to hyperreal). They are
going after folks talking about 3 drugs in particular: GHB, LSD, Ecstasy.
Tell me that's really about terrorism....

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon ...you just have to outrun the halfling.
