Just because the FBI has a protected system, doesn't mean everyone
does. Like I said earlier, you should see how wide open some of the  
cable modem users are. I'm sorry, but simply naming a high security 
government agency, doesn't change the fact that privacy does not 
ALWAYS apply. The first W in WWW stands for world. I suppose 
you can speak for everyone when you say "it's a private and protected 
environment." In some parts of the world those rights don't even exist
for people in their family homes, let alone in cyberspace. The net
SHOULD be private, but it's not. The net SHOULD be protected, but it's
not. Spam SHOULD be optional, but it's not. Those are the realities.
