Scott,
We now receive about one supeona per month for information from federal
and state agencies. The last one was a guy in his 30's trying to setup
a "meeting" with a 13 year old girl. I was able to provide the
information because we log all of that already. It's hard to go back
and get traffic info if the offense was 3 weeks prior. (The guy
confessed once the sheriff showed up at his house, BTW).

I don't know that I can even do that much, but I
agree, it is not for me to fund data collection for the government. If
they want data collected, I can make a switch port available and charge
them co-location fees to house a system they provide. As long as there
is a law or court order, I have no problem with that. Otherwise, the
data collected will get thrown out of many courts anyway. No probably
cause to be watching.
