RE: [Sheflug] Worrying article

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

This looks totally unworkable. In the era of free ISPs what's to stop 
"chummy" opening a new acct every day & doing dark deeds with a new 
identity when he feels like it?

Add in IP tracing and all you can say is that a perp used a particular ISP. 
This is like saying the tyre & paint marks at the scene of a ram-raid 
indicate a Ford car was used so all Ford drivers are suspect. A laptop user 
can also use multiple phone no.s to add more variables into the equation.

The warehousing of a user's browsing would also present some storage 
problems.

Like the RIP bill, this looks like another badly-conceived attempt by 
non-techies to brook a perceived problem.
