Regarding E-Mail Snooping Ruled Permissible

Regarding the E-Mail Snooping Ruled being Permissed.

... I can't imagine any scenario where anyone
outside of a 3 letter agency would even begin to see this as a good
thing.

As an ISP, you need only stipulate your virus scans and spam blocks as
part of the contractual agreement with your client- thus obtaining
"consent" for those actions.

The incredibly narrow interpretation of the term "in transit" by
Kermit the Judge, even in light of acknowledging the nature of the
required storage of electronic communications in some form, not only
creates precedent for future atrocities in regard to the violation of
our privacy in general, it grants specific sweeping powers to those
who wish to bypass the spirit of the wiretap law.

This a nothing but a Bad Thing.
