I agree that email is sort of like a post card, like the story stated but I also agree with this statement:

there is an expectation that service providers will access communications only with permission from customers, or when they need to do so to maintain their network. In fact, the Wiretap Act states that a provider shall not "intercept, disclose, or use" communication passing through its network "except for mechanical or service quality control checks."

I don't really know how I feel about it. I guess at work I understand at anytime someone could legally look at my emails so at times I do use the personal one for more privacy.

I guess as I sit here and think, wire tapping and emails should be goverened the same. Then I think of stalkers and pedophiles(sp?) and think if there is a way to stop them...stop them. Then I re-read the article and notice these are mostly business related....

I guess as much as I hate not having privacy I am growing accustomed to not having it. That is truly sad.
