Re: [privacy] Verizon Won't Give Government 'Unfettered' Record Access

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

Traffic analysis between, say, my telephone number and anyone
I call (and vice versa) is more than just looking at numbers --
it is looking at _who_I_call.

I must respectfully disagree with you, and most importantly
the SCOTUS, on this issue. Tracking who, when, and where I make
telephone calls is constitutionally intrusive, in my opinion.

Again, the real crime here is bypassing established legal
processes -- the FISA court -- when obtaining this information,
and in this case, the telcos just handed it over without a whimper
(except for Qwest, who did The Right Thing).

Yeah, in the case of phone records it might be a misnomer, your phone
number might as well be your name, but - technically - its not. A
record/log of one number to another number is NOT customer data...
