A controversial bill regarding retention of Internet records passed through committee and was approved for consideration by Congress in December.

The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 would require Internet providers to retain archives of every subscriber’s online…

I found it interesting that Lamar Smith, a Christian Scientist, has been in congress since before ISPs were delivering internet service to users.  While I applaud the inherent intent to provide stricter controls and penalties for child pornographers and providers, I’m appalled at the methods designed in this bill to do so.  

The provision to constantly monitor a users access goes completely against our 4th Amendment rights which guard Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures, and should be struck from the bill completely.  In addition I do not trust ISP providers to spend the proper amounts of money to retain this data securely from illicit access and even human error/exposure.  If Citibank can’t do it, a mom n pop ISP is an easy target.
