I'll repeat what Gabe said. It is not possible to prevent a packet from leaving the state. Legal or not. If there's no precedent in case law yet, and if the law does not recognize this fact and account for other means of "virtually" containing information, then it's simply not possible to comply with it. As an example, when I had a Comcast connection at home in Provo, a traceroute from my home to BYU campus went through San Jose. Anytime you have to hop from one network to another, the peering points could be anywhere. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
