Everyone seems to be in such an uproar about this court decision to let people read your e-mail. Oh the tragedy, oh what a terrible invasion of privacy! How dare they?

Wait... you mean to tell me this has been going on for years? Meet carnivore, or whatever they're calling it these days. E-mail wiretapping has been around for a very, very long time, whether people want to admit it or not. Just because this is the first it's been in the news for a while doesn't mean it hasn't been happening. The FBI has been doing it for years.
