Google search requests-what would we do?

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This evening on NPR All Things Considered were 2 articles on the requests by 
the Feds
for Google to turn over information on all search requests for selected time 
frames (from 
several news stories this has been phrased differently).
Google refused (so far), but apparently Yahoo & MSn did turn over. 
A commentary on NPR by a computer programmer Paul Ford was extremely 
interesting, 
basically saying there is no such thing as privacy on a computer any more.
Since many of us are the designers and administrators of various databases
I think it might be worth discussing, or at least, you may be interested in his 
comments.
