In other words, when the defendant tries to use discovery to get details of the police case against them, so they can analyze what happened, these "offline" notes are how the police withhold the information. You know, like Geronimo Pratt's primary prosecution witness was a paid government informer. And the FBI won't delete the file of the kid who aspires to be in our Foreign Service, but made the mistake of writing to foreign embassies in grade school. Poor schmuck. The FBI wants to keep "suspect" information on anyone in its NCIC 2000 system. ---- Some people feel the smart card will quickly give away to implantable biometric transponders.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Netscape and other companies --- the U.S. is a world leading producer of software technology --- are having their products outlawed for world-wide distribution because of ECHELON. Ubiquitous full-strength crypto --- in all our email products and web browsers --- would immediately begin to lessen ECHELON's ability to spy in such a massive dragnet fashion. There is an ugly implication to ECHELON being the reason Netscape and company are being held hostage by the NSA.
