Do they have any idea how many people have a phone line paid for by their
office?  Does this go for mobiles as well?  Or can we still have anonymous
phones?  I seem to remember that they tried to find RAF/Bader Meinhof(sp?)
terrorists in Germany by looking for homes with utility bills paid for by
3rd parties; all they found were "kept women".  Surely this information
will be very valuable to tabloids :-)

Will they now require ISPs to store all "TCP naked SYN" packets (web sites
visited information is *not* otherwise available at ISPs)

Indeed.
