Internet service providers to record their customers’ online activities
FBI Director Robert Mueller on Tuesday called on Internet service providers to record their customers’ on-line activities, a move that anticipates a fierce debate over privacy and law enforcement in Washington next year.
“Terrorists coordinate their plans cloaked in the anonymity of the Internet, as do violent sexual predators prowling chat rooms,” Mueller said in a speech at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Boston.
It seems strange that no one has mentioned the following…………..
Every truck-stop has wireless Internet that broadcasts all throughout the truck-stop and into the parking lot.
I was a cross country truck driver for 3 years and during that time I, like most other drivers, had a computer, with Internet access, in my truck. You can, anonymously, buy an access number with any amount of time and hook in to the Internet with no form of ID or anyone knowing who you are, as no personal information is required to purchase time on their wi fi system, and anyone can buy this time, not just truck drivers.
This seems to me that this would be one of the most discrete ways for people to conduct illegal activities! This is what the FBI needs to look into, not just monitoring the people who have an Internet account and an assigned ip that points directly to the user and all of their registered information.
In my opinion this annonymous wi fi is what needs to be tightened up.
